It's been 20 years now since the first medical-marijuana law passed, and it'll probably take another twenty years to finish filling in all the gaps, but it does feel like we've turned the corner on nationwide legalization.
And yet... marijuana is just one drug. How are we going to win the rest of the drug war? We can't afford to fight this battle one drug at a time; it'd take centuries. There are a vast array of interesting illegal psychedelics which are neither popular enough for the citizen-initiative process nor well-studied enough for the "dip your toes in by allowing medical use" two-step. I'd love to find some way we can use the momentum we're gaining from the legalization of marijuana to break down the entire Controlled Substances Act.
