Its better than nothing at all. Full on legalizing while its still illegal at the federal level is most likely not going to happen. The Feds will most likely stop it just like they said if California's passes they would.
Full legalization while its still fed illegal WILL happen given enough time. If not in CO, then somewhere else will cash in. Times have changed and the people realize mj should not be illegal. Prohibitionists cant stop it, the momentum is too much. What they can do is slow legalization down by regulating, which there is really no reason for, or by dividing and confusing the people. Its not like alcohol in any way whatsoever. Its safer than coffee, it should be treated like grapes or basil. By agreeing to regulate and set limits, there is still prohibition, still a black market and all the things that come with that. They will use those things in the future to say regulation doesnt work and so we need to regulate more or re-prohibition. They could also use that agreement to regulate everyday herbs or plants such as grapes, potatoes, aloe vera... Dont you people see, the ball is in our hands...we only live by those rules we chose to accept and live by...the subculture has expanded so much that they have to give in...how much is up to us at this point. Even with regulation the govt will still be overgrown. If legalization is the goal there is nothing stopping the people NOW or anytime in the next 2-3 years.....unless we agree to stop ourselves.
