Oh yeah, regarding the forest off topic, don't you realize that there used to be TONS of forest area in the USA that no longer exists? We chopped tons of it down to make cow pastures and cities, and in South America they bulldoze hundreds of acres to grow coffee and other legal substances, not to mention cattle as well. Luckily there's some effort to slow down or stop this kind of agriculture.

Nothing more than a personal opinion. I have enough friends involved in organizations like SSDP (Students for sensible drug policy) that I feel fairly informed about the current state of drug policy. I love the guy but considering the fact that Obama was honest about his drug experimentation in his youth, legalizing drugs of any kind would be political suicide. The right would latch onto that issue and use it to bury the guy. As hopeful as I am I just don't see it happening on any kind of federal level. What I think is that the current trends, especially with pot, will continue. That is, enforcement will continue to become less and less of a priority, medicinal use will become more widespread, etc.

this girl i know has been smoking for the past 5 years but shes been jogging for the last 7 and she sings, and after inquiring about lung damage to here doctor they did some sort of scan and concluded that there was literally no damage done to her lungs because she uses them so actively.
doesnt justify smoking but if your healthy enough i guess its not that bad

It doesn't quite work like that. Laws aren't retroactive. Everyone on pot charges in jail would still have to serve their time. Sucks.

Cannabis legal status is way more likely to normalize under state laws than federal. Federal laws stiill supercede state but enforcement from the federal level would probably decline the more states legalize or decriminalized.
Also, I think it is more likely, at the federal level, that a Republican administration would deregulate (decriminalize) weed than a Democrat would legalize it. A preferable situation, in my opinion. KEEP YOUR LAWS (for or against) OFF MY STASH! :-)
