Even if the age limit is locked in for Colorado and Washington young adults, there's some hope for the prospects of 18- to 21-year-olds being able to legally enjoy marijuana in other states yet to act on legalization.

Mike Crawford, a former president of The Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition who was on the group's board for ten years, told U.S. News that in 2016 he expects Massachusetts residents will vote on an initiative with an age limit of 18.

"Continuing a war on adult marijuana users between the ages of 18-21 is not acceptable," said Crawford, who believes the 18-year limit should be "the blueprint for these legalization initiatives in the future."
