This country has tried the prohibition experiment on marijuana for too long now and it’s time to end it. We now see that sentiment being relayed amongst public polls:
A new Zogby poll commissioned by the conservative-leaning O’Leary Report has found 52 percent voter support for treating marijuana as a legal, taxed, regulated substance. The survey, published as a full-page ad in today’s issue of the political newspaper The Hill, polled a sample of 3,937 voters weighted to match the 2008 presidential outcome — 54 percent Obama voters and 46 percent McCain supporters.
And this is the results with all those misleading anti-marijuana ads they play on TV. People know the truth that marijuana is much safer than drinking alone. Perhaps we can see some real change in the near future.
