      Prohibition was put into full effect by congress and the only real way to end it is by an act of congress. Don’t worry though, people who care about cannabis law are not going to give up the fight–this win was for a key battle, but the war for reasonable cannabis laws continues one step at a time.

      Vote for cannabis-friendly politicians on every level, do your best to pass cannabis-friendly laws in your state, and support your best local cannabis brands and dispensaries. After a century of illogical, hypocritical and racist cannabis laws, the last decade has truly seen a radical change in law and public opinion. We all feel that there is more that needs to be done, but there is value in taking a step back and acknowledging just how far this stuff has come.

      While I agree wholeheartedly, this is an important step.

      Politics like this are almost never won in one big move, but rather slow, small changes over time. Plenty of states have already made it essentially legal. The federal government is now, as often happens, following suit, slowly.

      It’s not perfect, but it is a move forward.
