I'm thinking the Feds will first re-schedule it to II in the next 2 years. It will be legal for recreational use in all the Medical states in 5 years and completely legalized in 7 years.
-
I imagine it being nationally legal within 10-20 years. I'm pretty sure there are still some states pretty well against it though, so it may never be legal in every state.
-
I think you're right about 7 years. thats what ive been saying all along. 2 more presidential elections. theres too many states jumping on at this point. theres going to be tax stats and revenue stats coming out in the next few years that are going to be impossible for other states to ignore. I dont thing totally legal or decriminalized is going to happen very soon, but at least medical for every state by 2020!!
-
8-16 years...max. Republicans would be wise to take this issue from the Democrats and run with it. I mean, us marijuana users are technically criminals using a schedule I drug, that is pretty terrible and needs to be changed much quicker than the time I assume.

There's going to be a battle between states such as Washington and Oregon and the Federal Government. The reason the federal government won't legalize it is because of the big pharmaceutical companies. They admit it right on whitehouse dot gov. Check this out:
Regardless of state laws to the contrary, there is no such thing as “medical” marijuana under Federal law. Marijuana continues to be a Schedule I substance meaning that it has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
It is also important to know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved medical use of isolated components of the marijuana plant such as THC, the active ingredient in marijuana and related synthetic compounds.
And THEN it goes on to list a half dozen or so, by brand name, THC based synthetic drugs from large pharmaceutical companies. It's basically a sales ad!
So it says marijuana is ILLEGAL and has NO accepted medical use, while these garbage synthetically derived patented expensive drugs DO. You see, the FDA is owned by the pharmaceutical companies and companies like Monsanto, which is why the federal government does not want to allow marijuana to have any legitimate use. The states aren't quite as influenced by the FDA, so they are more willing to decriminalize or even legalize marijuana.
Another possibility is that marijuana was involved in some of the CIA mind control research many years ago. Possibly they are reserving its use for some other purpose.

It will take as many years as it takes for the people to revolt completely.
-
They're fast taking steps to ensure a revolt by the people cannot succeed. There will be as many staged / planned incidents as needed to ban firearms completely, so that when the economy collapses, DHHS' 6 billion round stockpile will be much more effective against the people when they cannot return fire.

As of now 10 years..but who knows what turn of events could happen ???
-
In the great O'l USA it will never be legalized until we do something about private prisons. They pay for the drug war because they make bank on pot heads going to jail. After a few generations completely die off I don't think too many people will care about the use of Marijuana. Hell, in 7 years (Like you guys have been mentioning) they might already be able to completely synthesis all the major health beneficial compounds and then use that as an excuse to never legalize it. I can't tell the future. I would say thay cannabis would reach an exception rating of about 80% in the nest 40-60 years, once all the old people who we're brainwashed to hate weed die. No hate for old people. (I love old people) <3

Its not a wise idea for it to be legalized, that gives corporations free range over the substance, and it will use its medical properties very quickly.
Just look what they have done to tobacco, which is a relatively benign substance in its natural form.
Decriminalization is the key, and that's what we must focus on.
-
it depends on who is in office. both parties will go after legalized states. the republicans will go HARD. the courts will end up affirming legalization after states.
libertarians? no chance in hell. the guy that is going to headline the libertarian candidacy is vocal about being against legalization. what do they get anyway? 4% of the popular vote and 0% of the electoral college?
starbucks needs to start slanging fast.

my opinion is that weed cant be monopolized therefore it will never be legalized, on the federal level in the US at least
im jealous of Portugal legalizing all drugs, they said it helped alot on crime rates and national revenue

Get that straight man, Portugal didn't legalize all drugs, they just decriminalized it so you don't go to prison if you got under the maximum daily doses I don't know the number but you can have smack with you and don't go to prison, but the police is very aggressive, they spank people in the police stations even for a little bit of hash. Recently in lisbon a 15 year old kid was spanked to death by the police. Furthermore, if you get caught with like 1 gram of weed they send you to an association that has guys speaking with you so you never touch weed anymore, they treat drugs like evil man, don't be jealous of anything, the world is fucked. Police state everywhere.

holy shit, im glad you corrected me, i watched tv special and they said it was legalized completely, even had an interview with a government official saying all of this but not once did they say anything about anything you said, i dont usually listen to media news but damn, this goes to show how they leave alot out and how biased it is,
thanks for correcting me

I'd sure like to see weed legalized within the next ten years. However, I think the issue is too complex to predict an accurate forecast. Medical states, legal states, big pharma agenda, level of cartel violence, etc, etc. And as one poster stated, private prisons. The drug war finances LE and their cages.
-
that's what the Cia use for paper cash.
-
I give it 10 years to be completely legal.
Just hope no one writes a patent on it.
-
as of 2012 I was given it 'till 2016. But as the last post stated, withing the next 10. I've never really cared personally, fuck the system, they've been taxing our asses anyways, let them work for that money and keep weed illegal. It's the last mom and pop operation left on the world.
-
in uruguay (southamerica) its being legalized rigth now.
the state will plant it and sell it to anyone that has a licence (much like a driver licence)
it depends in how evil your politicians are
-
If it really can cures cancer then I would say never.
-
:-[
Sad but true. Just like in North America the corporate influenced intention was to eliminate the timber competition, the pharma industries corporate bastards will try everything and anything to cripple it's legalization.
-
If more states follow Colorado and Washington in legalization, I could see it being legal within 10 years. The states have to act.
