Road to legal cannabis

The pieces are slowly moving towards full legalization:

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) announced on Tuesday that he will be working with lawmakers to advance legislation to decriminalize marijuana possession after the legislature failed to produce a passable bill to more broadly legalize cannabis.

By the end of 2020, cannabis will be legalized for recreational purposes in New Jersey, New York, and Florida. Given the fact that nearly 70% of the public in the US supports legalization, Trump won't stand in the way when the Senate passes a bill that's pro-cannabis like the SAFE Act or the more favorable STATES Act.
