1. When it's NATIONALLY legalized, that will change.

While people don't like this, because hey, it's weed, and it's dumb to make a plant illegal, that whole federal-state thing is a two-edged sword. People LIKE the federal government when they're providing equality marriage benefits in mouth-breathing states....they're just a bit behind the curve on this particular issue.

I can guarantee that if we get a Republican in the WH, we can kiss that federal legalization goodbye, over the near term (while the federal government cynically collects the tax profits on it from the states).
