Yeah, that's the same as what I was saying. I refer more to the demographics of these generations. The Lost Generation were reduced because of wwi, resulting in smaller echoes in the silent and x generations. The boomers and their resulting children in gen Y are more numerous. This is seen in sociology and marketing especially, as it was realized genx wasn't really worth marketing to as much as they were earlier, since genY and the boomers were so much more numerous.

No Im all for legalizing marijuana but how would California be able to legalize it without the federal government coming down on them. Last I checked it was still illegal on a federal level?

We've managed fairly well with the present decriminalized-for-people-who-get-a-physician-reference, and *that* was supposedly going to mean Armageddon...

...I think it would be more of the same.

Just like everywhere else that's "legalized" it. The police make it their lowest priority to enforce, and unless they see you smoking on a street corner or growing dozens of plants in your front yard you'll probably be left alone.
