In the US? Yes most def. Within our lifetimes for sure. Who knows if I will still be puffing at that point, but I will always support legalization.

Actually I don't feel nationwide decrim is to far off. After that its only a small step away.

It really depends on how this next election goes. Vote Democratic. All of the Candidates Dem candidates have a really good stance when it comes to Marijuana. All have stated that they would never use federal troops/powers to arrest MM users. This is a step in the right direction.

Candidates Positions on Medical Marijuana

Biden has the lowest with a B+, most have A ratings.

Legalization will be a process, it won't happen over night.

Essentially, most Americans are realizing its a waste of resources. My city has major issues regarding crack cocaine use, simply put most police feel its a waste of time to arrest marijuana users, they may dump out your bag, but they won't arrest you. I haven't heard of a marijuana possesion charge in my city for years. I've been puffing for almost a decade.

It won't ever be sold like cigs, more closer to the Cali system, without the perscription requirement.

Think about it, more and more Americans smoke marijuana at least once in there lifetimes. Even if some don't enjoy it, how many feel it should be illegal after smoking it. More and more Political candidates are being frank about their usage, Barack Obama in particular is willing to take an honest look at marijuana.

Even nationwide decrim would be a victory. Many American metro areas are going this way already. Of course I'd like to see full legalization, but if its decrimned nation wide I would be happy.
