It seems that recently more-and-more major media outlets are beginning to speak out for the legalization of cannabis. Just this week MSNBC published an article that details why America's "experiment" on making cannabis illegal has failed and why it has to stop. In California, many of the so-called medical cannabis dispensaries and their preferred cultivators forged an odd, and self-interested alliance with the US Drug Enforcement Administration, drug czar’s office, California Chiefs of Police Association, California Beverage Association, Scientologists, drug rehabilitation profiteers and pro-big government, prohibitionist liberals like Senator Diane Feinstein in opposing Proposition 19 (which sought to allow California cities and counties the ability to legalize, regulate and tax cannabis sales to adults for non-medical purposes).
California will not be the last state to attempt the "radical" idea of legalizing the drug while placing strict tax on it. This is something that I see happening very soon in the future all throughout the United States. It will only be a matter of time before the federal government comes to its senses on how to raise money in order to help out current financial crises.
