we've had quite the series of MJ activity in the last year or so
prop 19 didn't make it, but it was the closest yet to outright MJ legalization
we have the most visible pro MJ legalization presidential candidate yet, Ron Paul, he may not go much further, but it's all progress

the dam is cracking, lets make it a flood

we have a prop in WA I-502 it would legalize the plant. put there are more issues with this measure than anything. that being. 40 grams is mis anything over and its a felony. if 502 is past 40 is felony. plus massive restrictions. its better to keep it medical than anything at this point. unless the legalization is going to make shit a lot better
