And you wouldn't need a medical card to get it, you could pick it up at any pharmacy.
For that to happen it would have to be legal federally and be approved by the food and drug administration. There is no doubt it will eventually become federally legal as younger generations take over congress. Getting FDA approval is another story. That process would have to overcome the deep pocket pharmaceutical lobbing $$$$ earmarked to protect against competition for their highly profitable drugs.
