What better way to drive hits than combine the words marijuana, gay marriage, legalize, and Cuba all into one headline? I've asked this before, but does the internet have a sweeps week?

The article is also just a list of assertions w/out any evidence/data backing it up. To conclude that these three issues will automatically break one way is a little far fetched. The national mood on weed and Cuba has ebbed and flowed for decades. Why does the author conclude today that the US will abandon "prohibition" of these ideas?

FTR, I support normalizing relations with Cuba, and wouldn't lose much sleep over legalizing marijuana or gay marriage on a national level. But that's just me. I think the author should back up his assertions with something other than his opinion.
