Marijuana’s moment finally seems to be here. At Hempfest in Seattle last
month more than 100,000 fans rallied for the one-time evil weed. The governor of New York State and the mayor
of Chicago recently supported the repeal of criminal penalties against a
personal stash. And next month, if current polls hold, voters in
Colorado and Washington will approve historic measures that make the pot
nearly as legal as heirloom tomatoes. “This is clearly the tipping
point,” says Keith Stroup, the grand old soul of the legalization
movement. “We are in the process of ending marijuana prohibition in
America".
