If you need any proof that children rebel against their parents when they grow up, you need not look further than the marijuana business.  Back in the 70's, with love, sex, and rock and roll, marijuana was just one of the recreational drugs that were being used heavily.  The children of those hippies decided for themselves that maybe it's not such a good idea to turn out like my parents because they all have STD's and a number of brain cells lost.  As a result, the marijuana industry declined.  In recent years, the children of the children of those hippies are trying to reverse things again.  California led the way a couple of years ago by permitting Marijuana for the medicinal values it can have.  This past year, Colorado led the way by being the first state to pass the use of marijuana for recreational use.  The business purpose of this law was to place a heavy tax on marijuana that would make the state richer.  The Colorado act to legalize marijuana was a public warranted initiative.  Not only do those people really love their pot, they are adamant enough to make it happen. If history is any indication, a lot more states will soon follow Colorado's lead and legalize marijuana. If this process takes too long, however, the next generation of leaders will turn the tide again to make sure that marijuana stays illegal in other states.
