This is definitely a step in the right direction. I would really like to see cultivating on the list of what gets changed instead of what doesn't.

still in committee... hopefully this bill will make it out of committee and into the house floor one of these days, getting the bill scheduled for debate should bring out NORML and all of the other pro-pot organizations into the public spotlight.
