   This month marks my 13th year working for marijuana law reform. During   
   this time I've witnessed many successes and many more signs of progress.   
   Nevertheless, it remains frustratingly clear that despite sincere   
   efforts and millions poured into campaigns, very little headway has been   
   made toward attaining the larger, essential goals of the movement --   
   specifically, abolishing the criminal laws that result in the arrest and   
   prosecution of more than half a million Americans every year for   
   possessing even small amounts of herb and establishing a framework for   
   regulating legal access to marijuana to adults.   
      
   Is either one of these goals achievable? Certainly. Is either goal   
   realistic? Not until we as a movement instigate significant shifts in   
   both public attitude and political opinion.
