Question

What is the likelihood of marijuana becoming legalized or decriminalized in our lifetime?

Answer 1

Never

Answer 2

Well I'd say that if they legalize that, what else would people want legalized? gotta stop somewhere

Answer 3

Whats the likelihood that people are going to wake up and stop believing all the propaganda and bull**** that the government feeds them? Yep, that's whats going to have to happen if good old weed has any hope of becoming legalized, and those chances unfortunately look pretty slim.

Answer 4

Never.Too much money to be made selling it illegally without taxation for the top men to allow it to be legalized. That is why most of the

mobsters went broke after they repealed Alcohol Prohibition. Once

it was legal no one could make any money out of it.

Answer 5

No, CA lifornia  law has not been decriminalized, in my opinion, as you will see from my source link.

Decriminalization is preferable to legalization. Why is that? Because to presume that the state can tax you for relaxing goes against all logic. Sure, let them issue fines and sentences for harm done, for example DUI accidents. But to require a permit or license means the state has the authority and you have no rights, only the privilege.

Now, will it? When law enforcement grows a pair, and stops building job security by adding large numbers of jail/prison facilities. When big pharma regards it as non threatening competition to their market penetration.

Probability; my prediction is 1 in 5, assuming a time frame of thirty years.

Medical marijuana is already legal by prescription from your doctor but that's as far as it will ever go.
