If the GOP controlled House doesn't put on a show for the rubes pretending they want to repeal this (they can't without the Senate), then we may have reached a tipping point with pot. I think they won't.

Who cares about California? Last time I was there I prayed.. then prayed it would fall into the Pacific Ocean.
When I'm legally lighting up a doobie on my deck in Utah the world will be right, and not until then.
Imagine! Being able to take a hit on a joint without fear! It was unthinkable at one time. Yeah, but didn't smoking pot make you paranoid? Well, duh?? It used to. You could lose your job, end up in jail, and fuck up your life.
420 alert!

Does this mean that I could walk right up to the president, blow smoke in his face, and he'd just have to stand there grooving on it?

Yeah, right up to the time where the Secret Service ass-raped you.
What needs to happen is for Marijuana to be rescheduled as a class 2 drug. That would deregulate everything, including the DEA and get many thousands of people out of prison.

All drugs need to be decriminalized (not legalized mind you). They are a health issue not necessarily a legal one and need to be treated as such. As you pointed out concerning bud, it would take tons of pressure off over crowded, over burdened prisons and jails. As well as stopping the untold amount of wasted money on a war on drugs that is not winnable. It works in Portugal.
