this is all good and its a wonderful sign that the science has done a complete turn around. but i really dont look to see decriminalization soon, definatly not 2011. the sad fact is we dont have the money yet to overcome the chemical, timber, or oil industrys. we may however beable to get by the auto industry now. our only ally in this for the very begining will be the pharmicutical industry but once they get all their studying and synthisizing done theyll push for recriminalization. any big industry that will stand to loose millions will always push the politicians to vote no. and how do they push? campaign contibutions, vacations, "favors", and lets not forget a couple mill in an off shore acount. and a team of lawyers to make sure it all looks ligit.

i really hope im wrong about this but it just seems to me that this will be the hardest obstacle to overcome.
