Hmm. You have a few powerful forces lobbying for it to stay illegal. This is a little different than the hard drugs so I would say as soon as you can get the influences of pharma and fundamentalism out of politics. So, basically never.

Yo Fatbat, I come from the future.

It can't stay illegal forever. Most americans already want it legalized.

True. But history (prohibition repealed) is going to repeat itself like it always does. I started reading up on supply chain logistics today after reading the story of the phandroid guy. First mover advantage + don't fuck it up = win.
 
i have little hope it'll be legalized anytime soon. too many greedy fucks at the top lobbying against it.
 
Never going to happen, they have been at "war" against it for 30yrs talking about how bad and deadly it is. No way they can make an about face now and just said they lied about all that all this time.

What will happen is maybe it will become schedule 2 so medical is legal. From what I hear its pretty easy to get a script for it so it would be legal but everyone has to have a script.
 
its legal for medical use in around 16 states already.

within 1-5 years, legal in all US states hopefully for medical use ;)

Portugal has had drugs(small amounts; personal use) decriminalized for 10+ years and its been working for them so far.

The Cato paper reports that between 2001 and 2006 in Portugal, rates of lifetime use of any illegal drug among seventh through ninth graders fell from 14.1% to 10.6%; drug use in older teens also declined. Lifetime heroin use among 16-to-18-year-olds fell from 2.5% to 1.8% (although there was a slight increase in marijuana use in that age group). New HIV infections in drug users fell by 17% between 1999 and 2003, and deaths related to heroin and similar drugs were cut by more than half. In addition, the number of people on methadone and buprenorphine treatment for drug addiction rose to 14,877 from 6,040, after decriminalization, and money saved on enforcement allowed for increased funding of drug-free treatment as well.

Hopefully within 1-5 years at least medicinally, but there are a lot of powerful groups pushing against it. Certain industries stand to take a big hit if it gets legalized and they will lobby the fuck out of prohibition, which will unfortunately work.

The fact that the DEA raids legal medicinal dispensaries without any resistance is a bad sign, in a respectable society that shit would start a riot. I don't have much faith in legalization, people are too afraid of progress.

Interesting. I'll read up on how prohibition was ended and what legal measures were taken.
