I wonder who PAID them to run that piece?
Here's the way this works folks...
The public gets pissed the fuck off because the limp-wristed cowardly corrupt politicians REFUSE to legalize cannabis out of fear of reprisal, so CITIZENS legalize it in their states. (see Colorado, Washington)
Meanwhile, large scale companies with fat ca$h have been waiting in the wings for their opportunity to capitalize on cannabis, and seeing the public support, launch operation "obtain monopoly". This is where they begin to bribe the "mainstream media" to produce pro-cannabis "news" coverage.
Once they get the "pro-cannabis" message out in the public, they'll start fishing for cowardly corrupt politicians to bribe, which they'll find in DROVES, mind you, and from there it's just a matter of providing enough bribes and kick-backs to the right people to obtain the favorable legislation they want to secure their cannabis monopolies.
In the end, citizens will STILL be criminalized for producing their OWN cannabis, and fat ca$h companies and cowardly corrupt politicians will get richer than they already are on the outrageous taxes they'll impose on our favorite plant.

Reckon it's better than it was, but not as good as it should be.
