That would be a HUGE uphill battle. There's still far too much propaganda out there and far too much stagnant thinking, particularly among legislators and conservative state governments. I don't believe for a second that a President who's pro-cannabis means the laws would change. The President doesn't enact or revise legislation by himself. With luck, perhaps he could begin changing ideas and attitudes, but even that would be a long, tough process.
A step forward is what it is. Why be afraid to pursue what you believe is fact when all else is bullshit to begin with? A lot of people are fed up with the manipulation and ignorance of facts. I think everyone is.

The issue goes beyond politics and into economics, society, and religion. There are heavy impacts that will affect the medical corporations, the psychological impact of society as a whole, and the religious history and the perception of the present religious elite.

I say, let's begin.
