The people have wanted it since before it was banned. The people have been ignored for decades. Finally they are being heard.

Whoa, what is the rush? I think we should just be smart and wait for some more research before unleashing this three-headed monster on our vulnerable children and senior citizens. 9-11 could happen again, ebola is real and marijuana is just as dangerous. Save our communities and let the hard working police keep the devil's flowers off our streets. We've almost beaten this marijuana problem. Just a little more funding and we'll win this thing.

That's either some chronic sarcasm or dank trolling you are rolling up to smoke there.

A+ trolling. You've almost hit a 1:1 falsehood to word ratio. It's impressive.

About damn time. Like many social changes we probably have to wait for more of the old generation to die off before the laws will be changed.

That won't work. They always train their replacements to continue their mistakes. We have to make it happen despite the bumbling idiots and bigots that oppose us because they'll never be gone. For every one that dies of old age, a hundred more are ready to take their place.
Though I get what you're implying about the last generation's chronic narcissism, our own generation is also full of people who would apparently melt to a puddle in agony and then burst into flames and explode if they ever admitted that they're wrong about anything.

While one could see this was going to happen, it's nice to have it "official".
I wonder how far the numbers will rise before the feds do something about it.

Legalize it and tax it like the government does with Tobacco and Alcohol. The government could make a lot of money off of it. Help out with solving this national debt.
