It'll be legal as soon as they get a good taxing system on it and they can test how high someone is(something similar to a breathalizer).

unlike alcohol, pot is harder to control dosage, two nugs may look identical, but one could be WAYYY more potent. ive seen bud that looks so chron i almost got stoned looking at it, and had it do little for my high. whereas ive also seen bud i thought was shwag but that totaly got me ripppppeeeddd...
also they can test how high you are by testing your blood. theres an officialy "stoned" limit too just like with drinking, but i dont know the statistics or much about the whole process.

I estimate that will be around the year 2020.
The EU is slowly gravitating towards the Dutch model, Russia has taken a giant stride forward by effectively decriminalizing user quantities of most any drug..
We will have the Fentanyl revolution laying people dead in the streets by the thousands and massive addiction to extreme hard drugs..
We have the psychedelic lobby doing its thing..
I guess by 2020 the US Gov't will see its economically disadvantageous to jail people for pot.
If you sow five plants in your garden or buckets all the Dutch police can do is seize it. The weed of those 5 outdoor plants, for your own use, will hardly get you in trouble. You can buy 5 grams of any weed or hash in "coffeeshops" and are allowed to carry them on your person. Smoking weed on the streets or music concerts is discouraged but not illegal. This is Dutch reality. I wish it was Worldwide reality, for all of you, today

I say never. That's alot of DEA jobs and revenue lost for the federales from seized property. Plus it would make the government look like they didn't know WTF they've been doing this whole time, not that they need any help

I am guessing around 2040, because by then all the people who were alive in the POT IS EVIL stage, and most of their kids who grew up under their influence, will be dead. Still, I find it hard to imagine the US government admitting to a mistake this great. I am also thinking it will not happen under a republican government, seeing as how conservatives hate change, why would they change this? So 32 years allots a fair ammount of time for a large ammount of shit to change.

i wish i could grow pot
jailing people actually is cheaper i bet. for one, inmates work, making licence plates. that is not all i am sure. building roads, picking up trash. plus, if you think about it they are getting food whether inside or out, medical care inside or out. if everybody got out of jail there would be massive amounts of people on the streets. plus, the government owns all materials so it really doesn't matter if they say it costs money. they are just paying themselves. they own the food companies, the hospitals, the companies that keep inmates alive. its not like they are gonna "spend too much money" on jails and not keep the mines open and build more submarines money is a joke
it won't be legalized for taxes because they make alot more without taxing it. they sell most of the pot in the country. thats where the cia gets alot of money

Not that true, I logged on to the DEA site recently and it seems like they are not doing well. They estimated that approx 65 billion dollars worth of drugs are traded in the US alone, weed being the most traded. Of the 65 billion, they only recover about 1.4 billion dollars worth of illegal drugs annualy.

What do you mean when will it be legal? If smoking weed is illegal then you can just take me away!
Seriously though, it's legal for me. I have a medical exemption. I went to the doc and told him that I have this horrible mental and physical condition called "NOT BEING STONED" and he said he had a prescription for that. Ha ha.

this is it exactly!!
every one around my area says its because they cant tax it
BULLSHIT, they could tax the hell out of it, and still not make as much money as they do from the bank accounts they seize, or property, and the fines, and the money they skim off of having inmates etc etc.
decriminalizing it would be a very bad financial move for the po po

Wait a minute: If the government taxed pot like they did cigarettes, and made it illegal to drive stoned think of the revenue from the taxes and the tickets they can issue.
The big reason pot is still illegal is because big alcohol companies and big tobacco companies want it to stay that way. If all the potheads and dealers in the US formed a coallition, there could be a serious consideration when people see the turnout.

imagine a solid stainless steel sphere the size of the earth.. and a mosquito landing on it once every billion years...after the sphere has been completely eroded away by friction from the mosquitoes..we will be about as close to legalizing marijuana as we are now...and by that time all the matter in the universe would have long since decayed anyway...

MMM.. as you know alcohol got potency to is procent of alco in drink.This is allmost same with pot, THC level in it.Example: 1l. beer 5% strong.there is 0,05 l. of true alco. 1 g. weed 20% thc, got 0,2 g. pure thc.
