- solistus, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1Fantastic. It's 2008 and we still have a haphazard mess of incomplete state programs (where we're lucky enough to have even that) and a completely broken federal system that limits the states' hands even more severely. Poll after poll shows that an increasingly tiny minority still supports status quo drug policies. We can see major political compromises over off-shore drilling because 60%+ of the public supports it, but when 42% of the population have *broken* a specific law (including most of our recent Presidents and our incoming one) and 70% of the public supports legalising at least medical use of cannabis, neither party will budge an inch from an anti-drug stance. The most liberal reform we've heard out of anyone with even a prayer of implementing a new cannabis policy is softening of the criminal sanctions via drug courts and the repeal of mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines - important improvements if they were to happen, without question, but far from ending the problem posed by federal criminalisation.
