You have people in all parties saying things like " I have smoked marijuana and I don't think it's a big deal". Or things like "I know marijuana is great for medicinal purposes". But then you have those same people when asked if they are in favor of legalization saying things like "No I don't think it should be legal but I don't think it should be considered a huge crime." So I don't see marijuana becomming legal ever. Atleast not in the next 50 years. So that will give enough time for the younger generations that aren't so uptight to get into congress and become leaders. That may be when things start to change in congress.
