Throughout his campaign, Obama seemed to find a way to appease people on both sides of an issue yet, it will be very hard to put the words both sides liked into action when his term rolls around. But I digress, bottom line, I don't think we are going to see any major changes in regards to marijuana laws at a federal level anytime soon. If we want change it needs to start from the bottom up, thankfully we are progressing as seen in places like Denver and Massachusetts. It will take a while but reform can be accomplished.
