  I'll give some credit to the stoners for that. But they wouldn't have gotten anywhere if pot didn't actually have significant legitimate medical benefits. And those benefits have mobilized many people suffering from debilitating diseases (and their friends/families), who would otherwise probably never have dreamed of getting involved in a legalization/decriminalization struggle.

    Yes, and to be fair, it's not as though nothing has happened, or nothing has changed. But I would have expected far more general social awareness about the pros and cons of assorted drugs, and the problems with prohibition. While there has been some progress, most of society has a fairly reactionary view (at least publicly) on recreational drug use.
