Will marijuana ever be completely legal in the US? If so, how long will it take?

[acri1]

And I'm talking for recreational use, not just medical marijuana.

Right now we have two states where MJ is flat out legal, and 20 where medical marijuana is legal. Not much, but that's more than it seemed like was possible 15 years ago. But of course, who knows how long it'd take for less liberal states to come around, and it's hard to see the federal ban ending until most states have already legalized it. We're already at the point where a majority of the US thinks it should be legal, but considering the government is (mostly) run by old, authoritarian white guys, the gov is usually very far behind when it comes to social issues.

So what do you think? Will marijuana be legal in five years? 10? 20? 30? Further in the future in that? Or is it still beyond the realm of possibility?

I think it will once the baby boomers die off. There are really the only generation still stuck on the stigma behind weed.

marijuana needs to be advertised in more ways than just smoking it, it has many different uses. hoping that one day that you can smoke it just because is the true stoner logic.

True, i feel the same way but at the same time it would be nice to not have to worry about being arrested or drug tested for jobs.

Just out of curiosity are you for or against recreational use?

The baby boomers cause a lot of problems in this country. They should be retiring, but they take up all the space and they refuse to create jobs for Gen Y.

Its going to take a lot of dead old people. Close all the nursing homes and marijuana will be legalized a lot sooner.

Won't be legalized until big pharma/monsanto control the production or copyright the genome of the seed of the most popular/consumed strains.
