#2I wonder how many state has to legalize it before the federal government in USA is forced to change their classification. It seems like more and more state will legalize it over time anyways.

Maybe in another 40 years. People aren’t smart, they are as dumb as nails. Sad!

The people aren't really the ones making the decision.
Here in Ohio, for example, we didn't have a vote on recreational, instead we had a vote on a government sanctioned monopoly possibly leading the way to recreational.
If there was some sort of state issue that could be voted on which was "regulate it like we do garden tomatoes", it would pass.
Leadership has prevented this, not your cartoon idea of the oh so ignorant voter base.
Too often we blame the salt of the earth people for things the media has done. Rule by multi millionaire propagandists.

I’m not sure on the answer, but I definitely want to make sure you don’t think Canada is a state in the US ;)

According to wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiatives_and_referendums_in... ) and ballotpedia ( https://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Indirect_initiative_s... ), Ohio allows indirect initiatives.
Meaning that if you were right about the voting base, it would be easy to legalize recreational marijuana without worrying what the leadership thought.
> In the indirect form, initiative sponsors collect signatures and once the signatures are collected, the measure is taken up by the state legislature in their state. The legislature has these options:
> Enact the measure as written in the petition.
> Refuse to act on the measure, in which case it goes on the ballot.

The leadership is not capable of preventing legalization if the salt of the earth is in favor of it.

Once we figure out how to keep minorities in prison easily, marijuana will become completely legal in the US.

The salt of the earth doesn't give a shit about the local government; they just want to be left alone for the most part.
The issue is getting the signatures in the first place, which requires canvassing, which requires paying someone to organize all of that. The last example of a successful canvassing that we had was a grab at a monopoly over growing ops, which was funded partly by a former member of the boy band NSYNC.
The other hurdle is approval by the legislature. In Ohio it's not as simple as "get signatures, get on the ballot".
