1. Woohoo. Does this mean those in jail for pot possesion get out?

2. It's a first step.

Hopefully the Democratic governors will follow his lead. I would hope all governors, of course, but obviously don’t expect Republican governors to do shit.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see if it takes.

3. A good first step, and this will put pressure on GOP Governors to do the same thing,

Especially with the overwhelming majority made up of both Democrats and Republicans now for its decriminalization, and reclassification. Eventually it should be fully legalized, and regulated like alcohol. Even Republicans are for this now, and a great issue to use to get their support with, and pass.

4. I remember my heavy smoking days in the 70's. We thought legalization was just around the corner.

Little did we know how long it would take to even get this far.

5. A baby step in the right direction.

Keep going, Joe.
