Do you think weed will ever be legal?

Yep, I think so. Once all these damn prohibition advocates die or resign from positions of authority, I believe things will change for the better. It's only a matter of time before the truth is spread completely, and we gain more supporters. Time... give it time. Just like alcohol prohibition expired, I believe prohibition of Cannabis will expire as well. My city has already decriminalized any possession of Cannabis 25 grams or under (Madison, WI! It's a very recent step forward). It still annoys me though, because they did not do it because they know it isn't bad, but because we're lacking funds to prosecute every small possession of weed. But it's a step forward, and soon more steps will be made, especially since Wisconsin has a NORML chapter. And during this waiting period, continue to blaze up. :)

I don't think it will happen any time soon. At least not for recreational purposes. The gov / DEA has spent so, so much time, effort and money trying to prove how harmfull it is. Changing gears now would be like admitting we have been so wrong for so long.

I only hope and pray that the rest of the states will legalize or decriminalize it for medicinal purposes. Too many patients are suffering needlesly because they can not get a steady supply of quality bud.

As for all complete and total morons who say it does not have any medicinal value, I say this - Let's see any one of them go through harsh chemo and then see how they vote?

Sorry for the rant, but I am a cancer survivor and I do in fact NEED this medicine for vaious reasons related to permanant nearve damage, kidney damage and other factors.

Unfortunately I live in the East.

nope, not until pretty much all of the "greatest generation" is dead. even then i dont see it happening. they have known that there is no harm in it for a very very long time now. all the facts are pretty much in on it so if it was going to happen in a few years it would just happen right now, there is nothing to just come out on it over the next few years that will make people totally change their minds on it. the thing is a lot of nonsmokers may not think it should be illegal, but it is an issue they could care less about. in the grand scheme of things it isnt a political issue that really gets talked about much on the federal level. in some states it is already decriminalized, state level is about all you can hope and the fed gov does as much as they can to prevent that, ie raiding medical suppliers and so on

your political system is backwards.never in a million years.people having fun and it being legal,dont make me laugh.

I dont think weed will ever be legal in all of the US

people have already been brainwashed with all this propaganda about how bad marijuana is on their children's health and mental stability

theyve become ignorant to its possible positive aspects.

obviously, the negative always weighs more than the positive things

sure... why not?

These laws have nothing to do with keeping you safe, but to build system where you single out what the population wants, alcohol, tobbacco,pot, make it illeagle, then you need proscuters,lawers,judges,counseling services,jails,then those lawers become judges, they become politicians, then they start getting lobbist moneys from Coors, Budwieser, cotton industry, plastics, wood, all to give more money to keep it ileagle!!
Even taxing it, they would lose so much corrupt income.!

And it gives the government a use for its war machine during peacetime.. if we ever have a peacetime again. Wasn't Halliburton getting prison construction contracts? Hmmm.....

I don't think weed will be legal, but I'm hoping for decrim status and believe that is at least a possibility.

I think it will be legal someday. I mean, back in the day, Mozart's day I believe, drinking coffee was illegal... or shunned.... but look at it now. :D bad example.

someday, yes; soon, no, but i hope; i'd say 20 years maybe

Cannabis will only be legalised when the government realise how much money they are missing out on by not taxing it, and how much money they are wasting victimising the peace loving chongers of the world. We arnt the ones going around partaking in mindless vandalism and other stupid crimes, nope we are too high to do anything that takes up that much energy, doesn't the real problem lie in alchohol abuse? Not only does it incite violence, which by the way, cannabis doesn't, which cost government money in all sorts of departments, but it also has detrimental effects on health, which cannabis hasn't been conclusivly proven to have (aside from the harm that tobbacco causes (also legal btw)) so all of your drunks who are either taking up doner livers, or liver disease medication or lying in ER after a drunken bar brawl, or in the STD clinic after a night of drunken and unprotected sex. All of these people are the guys who should be getting targeted by government legislation, not the friendly peacefull people who only want smoke a little doobie.

So yeah, until the governmet realises all of that rant, I doubt if we will ever be able to skin up walking down the street, oh well, we do it now and its illegal right? :D

Peace Out.
