I plan to live to the age of 100 with the help of cannabis of course. Whether it's legal or not, as long as it is available.

No one expected the Berlin Wall to suddenly fall - yet it did. Of course there were prior actions in place - Hungary actually had more to do with it than Reagan -whose administration had no clue, along with Bush I.

People are talking about legalization all over the place and a majority DEFINITELY want rescheduling.

But, as with East Germany - there are bureaucratic gatekeepers whose incomes (really good incomes, I might add) depend upon persecuting others for a victimless "crime."

What's going on with mmj in various states is like people in East Germany pushing against their totalitarian govt.

...impossible to predict, but I think it could happen...or maybe it already has happened with Congress' action allowing regulation of marijuana in D.C. and the courts, rather than the legislatures, will be the ones to finally stop the madness.

with very few exceptions, the members of both major parties are on the drug war gravy train....and we have no viable alternative.
