[Vision2020] Washington State Voters Legalize Recreational Pot Use

[Dave]

I wouldn't move right away, Tom. The DEA and various other three letter 
agencies are not going to go down without a fight.

I estimate 2-3 years worth of a very nasty fight (with an un-clear winner).

It would help if other states repeal Prohibition as well.  I think it 
could even pass in Idaho, this is one area that Progressives and 
Libertarians tend to agree.

What should happen is for cannabis to be re-scheduled to 4 or 5 at the 
federal level (where it really fits), but I'm not holding my breath.
