I think so. Because all of the old people who grew up durring the reefer madness era of propaganda are dieing off or retiring. We are moving twards legalazation. Slowly, but we are still moving in the right direction. Their are always gonna be people who hate weed as their are always people who hate alcahol. Anything that alters conciousness will always have haters.

Angry Sad but true.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll see in my lifetime.... maybe when I'm like 80. As it stands right now stoners and supporters are too afraid to become politically active on the matter.
Hell, I use this site all the time but this is the first time I've ever posted because I fear THE MAN. Especially since I also frequent the NORML site and although I'm not a member - again fear - (I support them by buying cool shirts and hoodies for me and my friends) it overwhelming shows the increase in not only marijuana related arrests but now PARAPHENELIA is illegal for heavens sake.
So sad but, so true... the government gets way too much funding for their DARE campaigns, stupid commercials... and yes, even the money lawyers, politicians and prisons receive for arresting us.
I am a professional, successful adult and so are all of my friends and family members and we all support legalization... but, in a crowd - I bet none of them would raise their hands if asked this question publicly.

im looking at 08...although i dont think he will win the election, kucinich supports marijuana decriminalization and industrial hemp, and based on obamas response when asked if he inhaled i think long as he doesnt get influenced by all the people in our government he may help our cause...i think were closer that ever

Eventually - Both Canada & the US need high-profile people who use it to come out of the closet and support its medical use like Monteil Williams who has MS. Oprah, Larry King at el need to do shows on this. Look what happened to AIDS when it got celebrity backing - people got serious.

Yup, everyone's fucking afraid to become politically active on this matter...Shows how much you know

Marijuana Law Reform - NORML
Marijuana Policy Project - Home

There's two quite popular national organizations working for marijuana reform, so maybe you're the one who's not politically active. By the way, if I was asked if I supported the legalization of marijuana, I would most definately say that I supported it. I'm not afraid, unlike most people. There are plenty of other younger kids like myself who are the same way. Don't worry baby-boomers, you stepped back in the shadows and did nothing, but I think we're the ones who'll help make it legal for all of us

when public opinion changes, public policy will change quickly

IMO there is little point lobbying and getting bills in the house if the people are not in support.

In canada support is growing and is currently over 50% in support!

YES OVER 50% and by that i mean 51%

in BC it's more like 59% in support.
As long as this number is growing we are winning.

once it gets to 70% = legalization IMO

My 2 cents...

It seems that although pot is illegal currently there are so many times I've seen people get pulled in for it only to be released with no repurcusions...I truly believe not punishing for the offense even though it's against the law sets a double standard that causes problems...young kids can make tons of money and even if they get caught they'll be out by the next day with barely a slap on the wrist if even that...As far as I've learned it seems that only the offenders with the intent for violence are looked at as closely as possible as those are usually the ones with a much deeper involvement in the underworld

On a lighter note I'd have to say that the people in america are already fat and lazy so mj can't really make things much worse ;-)

its inevitable, every year more and more people learn the truth, we have came so far in the past few years, and eventually the government will have to recongize that the number of people that want it legal keeps riseing....the government knows its not that bad, they know its never killed anyone, they know its medicial...they just dont want to admit they are wrong

In America? No. We live in a police state, they will never legalize marijuana, Hell, you can't even gamble online here legally. What a joke this country has become.

then people will wonder why something that lacks the detrimental effects of alcohol has been illegal since the thirties and alcohol has been legal.

probably because marijuana possession in california isn't a felony I would guess...but I'm sure it's like that in the other states that have decriminalized possession..Nevada initiative would've taxed and regulated marijuana..it didn't pass though. Not far off. It will be on the next ballot I believe..and I think it'll happen then. One guy was right, the public awareness of the next to no negative effects is becoming stronger as time goes on...the younger generation is much more open...for instance I'll have conversations with my teachers about marijuana...tell them that what they know about it is wrong..and what I know is right because what I know is new information. I'm sure there are plenty of younger kids that are as open as I am...not like I tell them I'm a stoner...just that I know the truth about it.

If anything pisses me off, it's being lied to. The government lies to kids, and it's fucking bullshit. And I'LL BE DAMNED IF THE FUCKERS ARE GOING TO LIE TO MY CHILDREN. I got addicted to cigarettes because I thought marijuana was a dangerous thing...cigarettes will kill you..Marijuana can never do that. My kids won't do the same. They will be given accurate and truthful information if I have anything to do with it. That's not how things are supposed to be and it needs to fucking change. NOW.

I think eventually when all the old people in Washington die off (of natural cause....I'm not a hitman) then the younger generation of people my age will be in office. Judging by the attitude of people I know it will be more tolerated if never legal because 99% of people I know either smoke or think it should be legal. Kind of like how sex was taboo years ago but now its hard to not see it on TV....and even if its never legal I can buy weed pretty much anywhere, its more of an issue of me wanting to pay less for really good weed.
