And it even hurt drug cartels through competition! :)

It just makes so much sense. We make it health issue, not a criminal issue. End prohibition and I can grow this with my tomatoes each year :)

I used to think when I was 20 it be a few years, not much older and it really feels like it's coming true. We could see this legalized federally in Canada to now perhaps as soon as 2017.

wow, I wish I knew what Bitcoin companies are working on fixing the cash fiat problem, with no bank access.
