Waiting for actual economic stimulus...

Even with the public opinion poles showing the views on pot swinging in favor of legalization, I think it would have to be upward of 85% before any politician would touch it. Have to remember what people answer on a poll is not necessarily what they will say to their neighbors, too.

I think the best chance is for grass roots (no pun) generated referendums on state ballots. Get a majority of the states in conflict with federal law, and the politicians in Washington would have the balls to make a move.

What we are spending to stop it pales by comparison to the revenue it could generate.
