9. The game is already over.. We won.

The nation owes Colorado a vote of thanks. We did it right, the rollout was so freaking smooth the Anti-Weed folks are stuck making bad shit up to try to fight the tide. One of our own Republican Reps was reduced to babbling "Yes the rollout went very smoothly but something violent is going to happen sometime in the future, I just know it".

I predicted that if Colorado and Washington went well, in 10 years the whole nation would follow. Now it's looking more like 5 years.
Oregon, Alaska, Florida(announced this morning), New Jersey and California are going to have votes on either Medical or both Medical and Recreational this year and I imagine more states will join them before the election.

The dam is broken, the weed is flowing and there is no stopping it now.

And for you anti-weed folks, I promise, when you awaken to a world with legal weed, you won't even notice the difference. The Earth will not spin off it's axis, the Sun will rise in the east and set in the west and Wall Street will still be robbing you blind.
