I would love to be as optimistic as the writers in this thread, but I see no signs of legalization anytime soon, economic crisis or not. Barney Frank’s initiatives are appreciated, but his bill is far, far from being a law. I see no reason to assume that anything will happen under the Obama Administration. If it was a priority something would have happened by now. But if you have information/articles that will make me think otherwise please provide them. I will like to be proven wrong.
