The most we can hope for within the next ten years is decriminalization, in severe states it would probably be a small fine and thats it. Maybe in ten years cultivation won't have YEARS attached to it. Maybe.

But I can see legalisation in twenty years. America has many bright, ambitious young citizens that will fill the places of the aged and corrupted politicians who are out of contact with average society... Slowly, the people who control our government will be replaced and over years our country can potentially have a completely different view on pretty much everything. Why would the same people pass a bill they denied not too many years earlier? Of course, if more people who leaned towards decriminalization gained power, eventually the bills we wanted to pass finally would.


But that would take a really long time...
