How many more states will it take legalizing mj, before its legal federally? How long in your opinion will it take?

not in my lifetime federally...imo

When all the OLD ACE Bastages that run this Country,,that are still living in the Dark Ages,,finally DYE OFF,,then things will change. There are Senators that have been in Office for YEARSSSSSSSSS.

THAT'D be sweet....

Yep 4u,,that might be enough time for a few OLD Buttwhips that have been against Legalization to drop freaken Dead.

i just hope the people behind the bill make sure they cover all their bases. everyone talks about all the good legalizing MJ would create. less people in prison, more tax money for states and feds, medical benefits, etc. The truth is this will be a tough transition. there is an enormous amount of people in jail for mj related crimes. when all of those people are released from jail, your looking at an immediate jump in unemployment, and homelessness. on top of that, we all know how big the private prison industry has become over the past 10-15 years. there are going to be quite a few prisons going out of business. that's a lot of employee's without jobs. pair that with all of the LEO that are going to get laid off. i can just see the republicans loving that juicy story. "MJ legalization bumps the unemployment rate to an all time high!"

i'm optimistic though... i'll put my guess at 10 years or less

Yep,Cubby Texas,Miss,and ETC,,,,,,Thats called the Bible Belt,,and you are correct for sure.

Yep,,thats the ticket 4U.

wow i guess you learn something everyday. wow so if your doing time for possession you don't get released if the law is changed. that sucks

who grows 1 oz producing plants? especially 1 at a time, so you don't have more then a oz. I hear in CO you can have 6 plants. but only 1 oz of possession. the laws are very qwerky.

Oh and why have a limit? Do they have a limit on how much alcohol you can have at your house? or in possession? treat them the same in my opinion.

they won't release all the ppl in prison for mj related sentences. it was illegal when they went to jail, they will unfortunately have to do their time.
