I fought this battle 30 years ago. Had a brother who smoked pot to alleve symptoms from cheomtherapy. Doctors unoffically endorsed it. Did the public protesting and lobbying to no avail. I don't think we are any closer to having legal pot now than we were 30 years ago. Feds are not going to allow it.

The point (chart) tetra brings up is a good one, about how big of a business marijuana is from the standpoint of the so-called "justice" sytem.
I firmly believe that is exactly why marijuana will not be legalized- all those jobs (lawyers, cops, judges, dea, fbi, prison guards, etc) would be hit hard. The unemployment rate would rise, and they'd blame it all on legalizing pot!

*sigh* I have a feeling aspirin (another wonder drug) would be outlawed, too if it hadn't already been in such wide spread useage.
