Legalizing cannabis for medical reasons is a lot easier to justify to voters who are still pretty conservative.

Of course I just LOOOVE the double standard with alcohol and how people self-medicate their woes away with that stuff to no end, and look down on us cannabis users as a bunch of addicts.

Ugh, don't even get me started.

I would like to see the following happen immediately:
-Full legalization of cannabis for medical purposes all over the world
-Decriminalization of posession, cultivation, etc. at the very least to acknowledge that cannabis use, even if it is still not fully legal, is a nonviolent crime and not worth anything worse than the equivalent of a speeding ticket.

Then let a bit of time pass...let the public see that OMG society hasn't broken down!!! Wow... who'da thunk...
