NBC/WSJ Poll, 55% of Americans support legal Marijuana.....

[Logical]

Fifty-five percent of Americans support legislative efforts to legalize marijuana, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Those respondents would back similar laws to the ones on the books in Colorado and Washington state, where adults over the age of 21 are permitted to possess limited amounts of marijuana for personal use.

Almost a quarter of the country does not approve of laws to legalize marijuana, but would tolerate them. Those Americans (24 percent) would not actively seek the repeal of laws backed by state voters and state legislatures.

The numbers reflect a gradual sea change in the public's views toward marijuana, and the laws that govern what federal law currently deems a "Schedule I" drug, worthy of the government's strictest treatment.

"I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol," President Barack Obama, who opposes legalization, said earlier this month in an interview with The New Yorker magazine. New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer said Monday on MSNBC that letting Colorado and Washington to experiment with new marijuana laws was a "good idea."

The public is changing quick on this topic! Obama needs to immediately remove pot from the Schedule 1 drug list and fire the idiotic DEA head Michele Leonhart who says pot is as dangerous as crack and meth.

1. Let's be clear. I do not consume marijuana

But I have absolutely no problem with other people doing so, for whatever reason.

If they are adults, and have informed consent, have at it.

It's simply none of my business what other people do, consume, or ingest. So long as they know what they are doing, what the risks are, and they are not coerced.

public policy, again.

3. I signed John Morgan's petition in Florida

MJ is far, far better than doctors and pharm addicting people to pills like Oxycodone.
