i think california will be the first state to legalize and from there on other states will follow, i really dought marijuana will be legal soon. its amazing how anslinger made the whole world believe that marijuana was "bad"

and for those who dont know who anslinger is, he is basically the guy that caused worldwide prohibition.

nationwide? no
california, maybe, looks like a close call, could go either way
but if california legalizes, who would make the next move?
my guess would be nevada, kind of a wild card state that can do some interesting choices when it comes to making a living

I think it will happen within the term of the next two presidents. I mean, we got 14 states with medical MJ since 1996. That's an average rate of one state per year. When half the states either are medical, or legal like California will be, it will be in the fed's best interest to at least federally decriminalize it. It doesn't make since to fight half the states that make up the United States.

i predict that CA does it this november - it is important that prohibitionists cannot site CA's refusal to do so in the future.. it is important that we do it now under this presidency.. oregon has a slight chance as well as nevada of doing it this year, but i am not so optimistic.. i'm not 100% sure about eastern states like NH or MA..

nationwide.... give it 20 years - i think it will be federally legal before that..

Won't happen any day soon that's for sure. Has to be reclassified from Schedule I drug first before anything like that can ever happen. Our over bloated 'law enforcement' and prisons (just like our government) make ALOT of money from it still being illegal as well, so you won't be drying up that gravy train any day soon either. There is far more more money, control and misery to be had by keeping it illegal for a long long time. :(

anyone know what canada may do if they pass the bill this november in cali, ive heard rumors that BC may legalize if cali does and from there on it wont be too long till its nationwide especially considering that medical is legal nation wide and in 2005 it was almost decriminalized only thing that stopped it was the change in government to conservative (basically republicans) and the states push to keep it illegal

i hadn't heard that, but wouldn't that be something
this is DEA's big fear, that the whole 'MJ illegality web' begins to unravel
well, i can only hope Cali voters do the noble act, and begin a chain of events that change everything

not if these stupid fucking potheads and growers keep voting no whenever its on the ballot

i hope most of yall are too bonked to even vote. please just stay out of the booth.

someone shoulda gave yer moms a coat hanger when they had the chance to save our community from your greed.

an example of my friend who is voting no:
jobless, no car, drove 4 hours in town ( borrowed his ex gf car who dumped him ) and got $500 from his mom to do housework ( which he also got shitface drunk almost every night and took E, not starting work till after noon )

this person has no clue what the fuck they are doing in life, and trying to protect some meager income by voting no on legalizing weed, its just straight up retards leading retards.

i will just point out that this will be the first time in history that we have actually been able to vote on legalization.. 215 passed with something like 79% and that was in the 90's..
i have a feeling that the individuals who make serious money from pot will not amount to a huge number of votes.. most people just smoke and grow for personal by the numbers i think..

I agree, people that make good money from pot well they are in the miniority and in that miniority we have the miniority of those people that are going to vote 'no' so I dont think its really something to worry about

There are still over 4 months till the November ballot and I'm anxious to see who and what comes out of the woodwork to try to defeat this measure. You know it's coming and BIG time!! For sure, some big bucks will be forthcoming from the Utah crowd and a lot of Rebublican $ too. The various Law Enforcement and Correctional Officer Associations should be in with both feet. So, I'm waiting for the first ugly head to pop up, and do my best to counter whatever Lies and BS arguments they come up with, at least in my area of influence. Good luck & good grow.......BB

i don't see it anytime soon in the bible belt. "MJ is a hard core drug ." We will be the last.

damn bible belt. That is the major problem with the legalization process. Without even researching the cause and effect of mj use they all vote no because its "bad". And its because some d-bag decided its a gateway drug. I've been smoking for years and the only thing I've tried while I was stoned were shrooms because they're natural. I have tried worse things while I was so wasted drunk I didn't know what i was doin, but booze isn't classified as a gateway drug.... cause c'mon it is represented as Christ's' blood, so its A-OK

LA is a going to be a tough state too. I have a friend in Baton Rouge, he sent me an e-mail sending they are trying to make the penalties stiffer for pot possesion. What is frustrating is that in the 10th ammendment to the US constitution says that we may govern ourselves and make laws accordingly.

I don't see it ever happening in the South. At least prolly in my lifetime it wont be legal there.
