Do you think weed will be legalized?
If not legalized then at least decriminalized?

2. Perhaps on the state level.
I don't see it happening nationally. Not with the current lunatics running the asylum.

3. All through the '90s I envisioned 2005 this way
I was certain that in the year 2005, "John John" Kennedy would be inaugurated President, and weed would be legal.

Imagine my disappointment.

4. Yes
Should be free to cultivate and consume by all. Overall, the impact of Marijuana on health is less than that of alcohol, tobacco, or even excessive fatty foods. Will it ever happen, not in this puritan society.

7. Depends if we can grow it here.
Some US firm will have to be making big bucks on it before it becomes legal.

9. Oh, most certainly in the very next session of Congress.

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

10. i just pray that alcohol will be criminalized...
i hope and pray these 'dominionists' push for temperance again. then maybe america would be pissed off enough to get off its collective asses and kick the living crap out of these bastards.

for anything else, i have no faith or hope for the future, but violence, and god how i want to stop that future from coming.

14. No, sorry but I don't think so anytime soon,
We can't even get adequate pain treatment to people who really need it.
While legal alcohol kills thousands of people each year, herb might increase potato chip sales, thus leading to higher cholesterol and an increased incidence of heart problems. There will always be a "good" reason to keep it illegal. There will always be those special "studies" that prove how evil it is.
Sorry but I think we are decades away from any serious debate on the issue.
We can't even use it in Native American ceremonies legally, nor peyote'. The original American's knew it's benefits, so why does the enlighten age refuse to call it anything but EVIL WEED?

15. It is a 'weed', put here for us by whatever higher power..
you choose to believe in. It was put here for free, it should be free. Just like everything else in nature. No man 'owns' any of it.

18. weed?
Bamacrat, I am hoping that breathing will still be legal a year from now.

One thing though - when they make everything illegal and turn us all into criminals, then no one thing will be especially dangerous anymore. They can't police everything, and who polices the police? Ironically, there will in some ways be more freedom.

So I would forget about legal and illegal for a while. They are being re-defined - everything this adminstration wants to do is legal; everything you want to do is illegal. It is a simplified legal code ala Germany in the 30's.

19. Medical marijuana is still controversial
despite the fact that it relieves some peoples' symptoms and was overwhelmingly approved by voters. However, I still have a feeling it may be legalized at some point. I just don't know when.
