Regardless of anyone's personal stance on the subject, I think it's fair to say that it would require a miracle for pot to actually get legalized in the next 3 years.
Politicians may personally agree that legalization is a good idea, but there are very few who are willing to risk being called out for being weak on anything, the "war on drugs" included.

- icey 17y agoDo you really think that it will be enough to put their political lives on the line? Right now everyone can point fingers, but votes are pretty black and white.
- anigbrowl 17y agoArnold Schwarzenegger is being termed out of office, though. Unless he's considering a run as US senator against Barbara Boxer in 2010 (probably a losing proposition), it won't really cost him much in the way of political capital. He has already publicly expressed some interest in the idea...and as the other commenter says, we need the money.
