same bill has been brought up for years but you are correct its getting closer and closer every year.just look at the whole country-60% now favor full legalization! the government needs to stop being so corrupt and just change the law.really pisses me off to the max.hemp too.hemp would be USA miracle crop.#1 resource.you can make anything out of hemp.between legalizing bud and taxing it and growing hemp for its thousands of resources this country would be right back on track without all the debt.A bill is being brought up in the state legislature for full legalization again this year. I heard its gaining momentum so who knows. I'd say it's possible in the next few years. The only way I think you will see the big tobacco or corporations come in is with it being removed as a schedual 1 by the Feds and I think that's a ways off.
