Right now the most liberal progressive party is in power. If you were going to get it passed it's now. I'm very conservative on most issues however Mary j and other drugs need to be decrimalized. It is well known as a gateway drug and that scares normal people who have never done the stuff. As far as taxes, the socialist style government right now will only steal whatever revenue it brings in and will be gone like all the other money we put it. This last president has managed to divide the country so much that now you will only see far right and far left. No middle ground. Which is where you needed to be to get those laws passed.
