Sure, there are some cities/states that are decriminalizing "medical" marijuana in a VERY grey area. But our Marijuana, our sweet herb...will never be legal. The government doesnt fund any medical research on marijuana...well..not really. They fund the MOTHERFUCK out of pharmaceutical companies though...so that THEY can research the components of maryjane and turn it into a fucking pharmaceutical, a pill. Then they can profit and profit and profit off of that. grr. Sorry..just a stoned rant.

It will only be legal when big money can patent every strain known to man. You're better of with some black market competition if you ask me. That and a healthy lobby behind seed banks sitting on the genomes of the ancestry of marijuana to date, were such an interest group to exist.
Public opinion polls showed majority support of full legalization (not medical) for the first time ever recently, so never say never. If it ever is legal it'll be a long road though. Till then we must contend with black markets & inflated prices or the in many states substantial risks involved in home growing.
Please...... Don't go there. Monsanto will be all over this, then we will have GMO weed. Roundup ready and no buzz.
