We're already here...I added my 1st post @ #17;
I have to wonder about people who are so concerned about the right to get high. Some of these folks seem strangely attached to weed.
We're not...we care about FREEDOM & limiting the powers of government. I fully agree w/ you that this should be an issue to the STATES to decide, & they can reap the benefits or deal w/ the repercussions of doing so.

Ah, but freedom requires responsibility. You can’t have one without the other.
Lack of individual restraint (aka morality) and the ability to take responsibility for one’s own actions are prime reasons why government is expanding.
Although Americans might be in favor of pot legalization, the potheads will have to show restraint. Ah, but the illegal use of pot (now) already proves many don’t have restraint. Therefore, the pendulum will likely swing back to criminalization, much like the increasing attempts by government to stamp out irresponsible use of alcohol.
