Prohibition Ends In 2022!
Nate Silver crunches the numbers on marijuana:

My guess is that we'll need to see a supermajority of Americans in favor of decriminalizing pot before the federal government would dare to take action on it. If the upward trend since 1990 holds (and recall my earlier caution: it might not), then legalization would achieve 60 percent support at some point in 2022 or 2023. About then is when things might get interesting. But I'd guess we'll see other some other once-unthinkable things like legalized gay marriage first.

2. We'd have a supermajority if the government would quit lying about Cannabis.

Kind of a catch 22 there.

3. We've never had a President

Except for Obama that is at least sympathetic over Med MJ. I think we will see that come real soon. Like sometime this summer. Just in time for harvest. LOL!
