Since Prop. 215 was voted in, support for legalizing cannabis has grown immensely. Cannabis will be RE-legalized and millions of citizens across all of North America are tired of waiting. Voters in California and Colorado will likely get another golden opportunity in November 2012 and other states are likely to join the race. Amending Prop. 215 amounts to going backwards while citizens wish to move forward. Perhaps the Daily Journal will consider editorializing to legalize and regulate cannabis like beer or wine.
