i don't think less federal involvement is gonna come very soon. I truly think that the only way it will ever be legalized, either for medical use or general use, on the federal level will be through the states. the DEA has and will continue to do everything in their power to keep cannabis a schedule I drug because it is a substantial portion of their budget. What i mean by getting it legalized federally but through the states is this. Congress and the president and the Human Health Services (all three have the power to reschedule a drug), will only seriously reconsider rescheduling if a large portion if not a majority of states enact medical marijuana laws or decriminalization laws. the federal level government is increadibly unresponsive to the citizens so the only way they'll hear our voice is if more and more states start saying "F*** off feds".

I think that is exactly what will happen. I think in other states law enforcement will be less excited about arresting people for something that is legal in another state, the fire will spread and it won't be long before state powers start telling the DEA to get fucked. Once several states have legalized then the fed will follow along and then the hold out states won't really have much of a choice. This will be greatly accelerated once other state governments start seeing the Oregon revenues from marijuana tax.
