93. Probably not
Your government is openly run by corporations. My own (British) is as well but we're about ten to fifteen years behind you so they at least pretend not to here and too many corporations stand to lose too much money if pot were legalised. Who's going to spend thirty dollars on a pill if you can buy a blunt for a buck-fifty? Pharma is the worst offender but when you think of the long list of things which cannabis can replace (either entirely or mostly) and the sums involved, the chances of legalisation start looking pretty remote.

Way I see it, the only chances are either to get the money interests out of politics or move to somewhere they have a sensible attitude towards pot. Everyone knows about Holland but most of Germany is also fine with "personal use" amounts.
