I think we will see federal decriminalization within the next 5 years. The government and contractors are missing out on hiring a lot of great new US technical talent that doesn’t want to wear a suit every day and commit to never using marijuana on their free time. Misuse/addiction of prescription meds is the real underground crisis nobody is seeing or talking about amongst the upstanding non-marijuana using crowd.
