Sixty-one percent of Americans think marijuana use should be legal, a five-point increase from last year and the highest percentage ever recorded in this poll. Eighty-eight percent favor medical marijuana use.

Seventy-one percent oppose the federal government’s efforts to stop marijuana sales and its use in states that have legalized it, including opposition from most Republicans, Democrats, and independents.

Sixty-five percent think marijuana is less dangerous than most other drugs. And only 23 percent think legalizing marijuana leads to an increase violent crime.

More generally on the topic of drug abuse, 69 percent think that should be treated as an addiction and mental health problem rather than a criminal offense.

Happy Birthday potheads.

Legalize and execute! Get government out of enforcement.

It's a race to the bottom, but there will be no winners.

The war on drugs is a race to the bottom. We allow booze and gambling but you're really going to say that the government should kick peoples doors down over a fucking leaf?

You're either small government or you're not.

It is really funny to watch the same people that want to abolish the fed, epa, fda, and downsize government all together argue for a bigger DEA....For what? Because some people want to be free and they can't stand it.

How does small government factor into your $trillions for NASA?

They should make all drugs legal and tax them, distribute through pharmacies. Use the tax money to fund rehab facilities. Why do you leftest nutters stop at pot?

And you want larger government for NASA? LOL! You are a racist nut job.

 

[ScienceRocks]

This is why I think you're just anti-poor as you're for taking things away from them and throwing then in prison...Period...Your anti-government bs is just a smoke screen. You're pro corporation....

I don't. That would be fine, a free market thing to do. As long as you don't pose a risk to others, what you do in your home is your business.

I stopped consuming pot over 25 years ago and had never heard of this 4:20 stuff until recently. I can assure you that I have never celebrated anything related to Hitler (other than his demise), nor has anyone I've ever associated with. 4:20 originated as a meeting time for some high school stoners. I think Hitler would have been a big "bummer" for them as are his modern day authoritarian successors.

You shouldn't post when you are high!

Not high....just old.

Stoned losers on welfare should be forced to pick up trash along the highways in exchange for their hand outs. Then maybe they will stop doing drugs, get a job and pay their own bills.

Drugs do not prevent productivity...low wagesdp dpo. Pretend to pay me I pretend to work.
