Legal pot may be coming to California:

The first step to legalize marijuana in California is on a roll.

Lawmakers on Tuesday approved Assembly Bill 390 -- legislation to tax and regulate marijuana. The Assembly's Public Safety Committee voted 4-3 on bill at a hearing in Sacramento. The bill will now be passed to the full Assembly on Friday for consideration.

This would legalize marijuana -- and not just for medicine. I'm not sure how much chance this has to be passed by full assembly, but it's definitely interesting.
