lucid dream isn't likely, but the wave of upcoming voters have done a nice job of voicing what they think is right for the country. legalized marijuana is one of those notions and is likely the most beneficial to everyone in the long run. we're going to get some line-in-the-sand rhetoric in the next few months and it's not going to stop until 2016 unfortunately.
there will also, likely, be an debate over what rights (if any) an employer has over an employee's life or lifestyle. basically if someone can do the job and do it well enough to satisfy the employer then what ground does the employer have on dictating personal lifestyle choices of the employee. this is going to come up with legalizing marijuana.

Sadly I think our nation has done a great job of showing us, that we will not have that debate until after someones life is ruined.
It will undoubtedly end up in the US supreme court I am confidant, but only after the perfect test subject is found. I am thinking of the Edith Wilson here and DOMA.
She and her dead partner were hardly the first to have this issue I am sure. She was however as I remember very cordial and amiable on television .
Of course I am not attempting to compare Homosexual rights to legalizing marijuana. Just using the recent DOMA ruling as a point to illustrate that we rarely have proper foresight to these problems.
Even if it takes twenty years, we do get it right sooner or later.
