tucked deep inside the 1,603-page federal spending measure is a provision that effectively ends the federal government's prohibition on medical marijuana and signals a major shift in drug policy.
The bill's passage over the weekend marks the first time Congress has approved nationally significant legislation backed by legalization advocates. It brings almost to a close two decades of tension between the states and Washington over medical use of marijuana.
Under the provision, states where medical pot is legal would no longer need to worry about federal drug agents raiding retail operations. Agents would be prohibited from doing so.

The horse is out of the barn. Federal legalization will happen before Obama leaves office in two years.

The best thing about legalization will be to dimimish the social taboo and reduce the prevalence of "420 brah" culture. I'm for anything that reduces the amount of pot leaf tee shirts in the world.
