This is politics we're talking about. Nobody in power is going to do the right thing -- just the expedient thing. The numbers are in, and the majority no longer believes the lie that marijuana is dangerous (which it isn't, for fuck's sake). This whole madness was manufactured and can be equally dismissed "under pressure". You don't think that alcohol prohibition ended because the government wanted to do the right thing, do you? They wanted the tax money and it clearly was a failure. Fast forward to today. Lather, rinse, and repeat.
