idk eve..
one on hand i like to be optimistic, but on the other i have to admit i've been around long enough to see how things are and how they have been for a very long time.. also, there is way too much money being made in it's prohibition in ways of jails and fines and jobs for judges, cops, court clerks, prison gaurds, etc, etc, not to mention monies generated in fines and confiscations..
of course i'd love to be proven wrong, but i have my doubts.. even places where cannabis was widely accepted are having a rethink and sales in some places in holland have been outlawed to anyone but dutch citizens, something i never though i'd see in my lifetime.. in some cases, it seems like we're taking step back, not forward.. idk..
