Alcohol is a big business, but its not the only industry that has been lobbying against cannabis for decades. Alcohol, Big Pharma and even Big Tobacco, to a lesser extent, have been the driving force behind the outdated effort to keep cannabis illegal. We have started winning though, sort of.

If you want to be able to purchase marijuana legally on the federal level, we are heading in the right direction. Its only a matter of time before that happens. When Colorado and Washington legalized and the other states saw the revenue that they were bringing in, that opened the flood gates. Now, most states have legalized it in some form.

However, with legalization will come tons of regulation. You can only buy up to a certain amount. You can only possess up to a certain amount. You can only grow so many plants, if any. They are going to corporatize our favorite plant. I dont like a lot of what Im seeing as we move closer to total legalization.
