Correction appended, April 20, 2015.
The legalization of marijuana in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Washington D.C. has moved pot from the realm of criminal arrest to customer service.

Correction: The original version of this quiz misstated the states that rejected legalization in the past five years.
