Slowly, slowly.
Maybe before I die.
I've been saying they're going to legalize it since about 1961.
Could I actually live to see it ?
Will I be able to stick up my arthritic, bent middle finger and say we finally stuck it to the man ??

( It's on the ballot here in Az. again in 2010 )

You're not wrong, but tell that to California.
Right now they're just referring to Medical Marijuana.
If I remember correctly the laws in the Netherlands regarding marijuana are also rather hazy ( pun intended )

Also check out this link.
I may have already posted it, but this will show you the states that have state legal clinics/dispensaries that the feds tend to leave alone as long as they follow the state regs.

Honsetly Twitch, i think it will be happening in the next few years in the states. In many a year when we're all gone they'll look back at the generations that suffered under the prohibition and wonder how they dealt with it.

They'll look at the 60's and point to that as the catalyst.

This is our political action committee, of which I am proud to say I am an active member.
They have been instrumental in making medical marijuana legal in 15 states and decriminalizing it in I believe 13 states.

wow

i didnt realise there was that many dispensaries in just LA, theyre gonna catch up with dam soon enough, i get the feeling that when states try to legalize for all not just medical, they will have to step in to please the massive religious sector that so strongly campaigns against it, (dont some still think alcohol prohibition is the way forward) they hold to much sway when it comes to voting that even if a party agrees with legalization the temptation of picking up so many deciding votes will be to strong

The Obama administration has said it will stop the persecution of medical marijuana growers and providers. This, of course, has the fascist puritans all in a bother.

As I have been looking to move, at least part time for now, to California, I have been talking to some people on forums in California who are patients.
They have told me that since Obama's orders to stop the persecution the clinics that follow the rules have basically been left alone.
Los Angels is considering putting a cap on the amount of clinics as they are popping up all over the place.
