In reply to the discussion: Poll: Colorado Wants Marijuana Legalized, Regulated Like Booze and Smokes [View all]joshcryer
(62,269 posts)37. When do you think it shall be?
The President is only but one hand of the federal hand, I think he can come out for it in a "wishy-washy" sort of way (one that neither says he's for it but it against it at the same time, kinda like gay marriage). In that vein I think he can and will do it.
Hey, I'm probably wrong, but it's just something I'm predicting, since polls put legalization ahead and all.

Agreed. Why single out dispensaries when there are other stores that sell 18+ only stuff?
