Snoop Dogg leads the celebrations as California votes to legalise marijuana

Donald Trump may be heading to the White House but Californians have something to be happy about after the state voted in approval of Proposition 64, a move that legalises recreational marijuana in the state.

Rapper, Snoop Dog who is no stranger to weed shared a television image of the results along with the caption "I'll smoke to that".

California is one of eight states that have voted to legalise the use of marijuana for medical or recreational uses. California's vote is one of the most important moves in health and politics, it is America's most populous state with a population of 39million and has an economy bigger than that of France. Marijuana still remains prohibited under federal law.
