I think that the laws will continue to soften, with the US leading the way and other countries following. Hard to say whether it will lead to legalisation or just more medical marijuana programs. Either way I'm pretty optimistic about the situation, there seems to be a tidal wave of support for cannabis that nobody can stop this time. Its exploding in popularity 
Its becoming more and more socially acceptable as cannabis use infiltrates mainstream culture, TV, movies, music, the media etc. Suddenly in the last few years there are mainstream TV shows and movies dealing with cannabis in a lighthearted way, instead of the stoner stereotypes and fear-mongering we had before.
Theres still plenty of people around who are 100% anti-cannabis and won't listen to any kind of reasonable argument, but I think that 'reefer madness' generation is slowly dying out. Young people today seem more openminded and smarter than ever, and can see things for what they are.

yes I quite agree that California will lead the way. When I went there two years ago the medical suppliers were in abundance, though lately i hear raids are on the up.
