Marijuana will be legalized sooner rather then later.

Marijuana has only been illegal for 70 odd years.
That is a long time for prohibition but it is not forever. Attitudes are changing for the better in America:

http://news.yahoo.com/recreational-m...034555395.html

"Nationwide, an October 2011 Gallup Poll that found a record 50 percent of Americans polled supported legalizing marijuana use, up from 36 percent five years earlier."

Colorado has a legalization measure on their ballot this fall - not decriminalized but legalized.
I really do believe this legislature in Colorado stands a good chance of passing - better than the last effort which was California in 2010 (that lost 50.8% to 49.2%)

Hell look at the numbers alone on the sliding disparity scale - 36% approved 5 years ago; 50% last October. This last % is a year plus from the vote in Colorado this November. With the numbers keeping trending the way they have been that equates to a 52-54% approval for legalization by late this year.

Not to mention Colorado is one of the most liberal states.
Add it all up and what do you got - a lot of attention towards Marijuana. A Democratic President who is not cracking down hard on Cannabis and Cannabis research (he even has admitted to smoking it). I do believe if Colorado legalizes it 5-6 other states will follow suit within 2 years. At that point, halfway into his 2nd tenure and being presented clearly with what the voters want - AND not being psychotically anti-marijuana as many presidents are.. I truly believe Obama will pave the way for legalized Marijuana across the US with 6-7 states being legal by the end of his term in January 2017.

Sure some state will hold out for a long, long time but most others will come to accept the fact that we're imprisoning 1.7 million + people a year and spending tens of billions of dollars to combat Marijuana.

The war against Marijuana hurts the USA more than Marijuana ever could.
