It's almost 10 am. The new TV show on Channel FOX will launch. Starring the legend Geraldo Rivera. This new TV show is about controversial subjects.

One side has the Marijuana activists, for example hipsters, doctors and scientists, and on the other side has people who is against the legalization, like priests and politicians.

The TV Show will start in a few seconds. Both sides look confident. The TV host, Geraldo Rivera, appears.

“Come on everybody, let’s rock out!” he says energetically to the audience.

The show begins.

“Has the legalization of marijuana in America become inevitable?” Geraldo asks very dramatically to both sides.

“Yes, we cannabis!” answers the scientist defiantly.

The audience laughs.

“This moment is the perfect time. United States appears on the cusp of legalization. Last november, Alaska becomes the fourth state to legalize recreational marijuana. The state joined Colorado, Oregon and Washington," continued the scientist.

“4 states versus 22 totally against legalization? How could you imagine that's a path to inevitable legalization?” asks the priest angrily of cons side

"Until 2012 we are none, zero. Now our map changes drastically. Now, we are 4 states with legalized cannabis, 9 states with both medical and decriminalization laws, 8 states with legal medical cannabis, and 4 states with decriminalized cannabis possession laws!" asserts the scientist teasingly.

Geraldo interrupts and announces questioningly: "Was this supposed to be inevitable, then? He looks to the other cam, blinks his eyes and mutters sarcastically: "You'll know, after the break."
