13. great post

on the flip side,

"Last week, the Department of Revenue sent a letter formally petitioning the federal government to reschedule marijuana; read it below. Sensible Colorado's Brian Vicente sees the move as a sign of the times, and predicts such rescheduling will happen within five years -- if Barack Obama or Ron Paul win the 2012 election.

"I think it was actually fairly meaningful," says Vicente about the letter, penned by DOR head Barbara Brohl. "Colorado was the fourth state just last year to send a request to the federal government to reconsider marijuana's schedule in the Controlled Substances Act" -- Schedule 1, meaning it has no officially recognized medical value on the federal level. "That shows the groundswell of support is growing.""

-- I don't think this guy has a crystal ball - but he's basically saying that anyone who votes for any republican other than Paul is not doing the cause any favors.

the guy from Harbor Side in the OP just did a reality show and ended saying he just supports mmj - which sort of irked some people around here - I never saw the show - but others in the community weren't so very happy with him - so I don't know that he speaks for anyone but himself.

I do think there's a good chance CO could go legal this year, however, and I don't know anyone who wants to have the feds coming down on any state that is trying to work out its laws.

Decriminalization could simply move the entire issue to states to work out.
