It does an economy good." Deidre Pike better get in line; Colorado is going to be the first state to re-legalize cannabis (marijuana) in 2012. The race is on, and if I were a gambling man, I'd bet on Colorado to win by an hour. Really though, good luck, Nevada. California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts and some others have indicated interest in attempting to legalize the relatively safe, God-given plant cannabis in 2012. The competitive American nature in us making it a race seems only natural, and it may end cannabis prohibition that much sooner. The race is on; see you at the finish line.
