Legal Weed On The Horizon?

Advocates sense momentum.

It's 4-20, so you know that this news will put potheads in an even better mood. Across the nation, advocates for the legalization of marijuana are riding high on a new wave of momentum, as liberals and conservatives are appearing less and less averse to the idea. "Any time you've got Glenn Beck and Barney Frank agreeing on something, it's either a sign that change is impending or that the end times are here," one advocate told the New York Times. Groups such as NORML and The Drug Policy Alliance are being taken seriously like never before and seeing an increase in donations. But don't bust out your bong in celebration quite yet, Obama just talked tough on drugs last week while in Mexico.
