Watch how quick they change their tune and come out with breakthrough research to make weed safe so they can start taxing it. The generation that had so many taboos against it are getting old and will get sick very shortly. My guess is that when their health care is in jeopardy for a lack of funds suddenly pot won't be evil.

I think we are probably about 3-5 years from seeing a state like California or Oregon fully legalize pot and tax it. Once that happens you know the feds will want their cut and suddenly, as you say, pot will not be such a horrible drug.
