I guess that depends on what you consider "a long time coming". If you think about the fear campaign from the 50's and the push shortly thereafter by hippies to counter it in the 60's... well you can say it's been coming for about 40-50 years. But on the other hand, it's only recently that reasonably, non-dirty-hippy adults have been advocating legal pot on the basis of economy, logic, and fact rather than peace, love, and hippyness. So in that sense, it's only been coming for about 10 years, with the economy being the impetus that might actually get it legalized.
