unfortunately you are right. i dont see decriminalization happening federally for at least another 10-20 years, if at all. the ball is definetly rolling but there is a whole lot of misinformation and lobbyist left to fight.
and if you really wanna get a good discussion going, lets talk about the war on drugs.

Decriminalization doesn't mean it isn't a crime... even though that is what that word should mean considering the make-up of it. All decriminalization means is that it isn't a federal crime, and is somewhat allowed. In Califronia, you can have up to a dub, or one gram, without it being a crime. You can also have up to 27.9 grams without it being anything but a ticket and a drug class. Anything over an ounce (28 grams) is considered a felony because it is intent to distribute. Other things that make it intent to distribute are seperate bags or having marijuana and a scale. Also, your allowed (state-wise) to have any amount under three ounces (64 grams) on your person if you have a medical card, and it is not in seperate bags. Medical cards are easy as **** to get, too. They don't even have perscriptions on them, it just say something like "BubbaxFire Kush" And why is it if it is for "medical use" people can pick-up three ounces a day? I'm not suprised the feds are angry.
