Fortunately my mind is pretty battle-hardened from my youth so at those times I'm just like "wheeee!"

I think the knowledge that it's relatively benign has been out there for a while, and has been percolating up in the general consciousness. I always felt legalization was coming, but if you look back even 8 or so years here on DU you'd see people going "pot legalization is never going to happen, none of the serious political people™ think it's a serious political issue™"

Guess they were wrong, about that. One thing I think is important is for our party to get on the right side of this at the national level, certainly letting the so-called libertarian wing of the GOP grab the pro-legalization football would be a big political mistake IMHO.
