The first step is the notice to quit, as mentioned by a number of the posts above.You ask an interesting question about what about the situation where it is postmarked the 9th and you receive it a week letter.

@Joseph Scorese should be happy you have mentioned his group.You should look into DIG http://digonline.org/Joe is a member of DIG too.

Not to mention the fact that marijuana use in teens, DUIs, violent crimes and armed robbery have all declined in states that have legalized pot in some form or another...... not that were discussing the social ramifications.I could continue to rattle off talking points but the TLDR is: depending on who you speak to the marijuana industry gets a bad wrap, in my humble opinion its nothing short of a windfall for states that have embraced it....
