58% want it legal!

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For marijuana advocates, the last 12 months have been a period of unprecedented success as Washington and Colorado became the first states to legalize recreational use of marijuana. And now for the first time, a clear majority of Americans (58%) say the drug should be legalized. This is in sharp contrast to the time Gallup first asked the question in 1969, when only 12% favored legalization.

interesting, years ago i'd see a MJ legalization poll every few years<br>
this is like the 3rd or 4th positive MJ legal poll in the past year, the momentum is really building

The Gallop leans to the left quite a bit but in this case I hope they are accurate.

Interesting stats, I wouldn't have expected Texas to be in the plus column for legalization. A couple friends recently spent a few months in the Refugio jail and are paying a couple thou in fines. Had 3 zips.

I lived in Texas for a while other than Austin and a few other random parts you'll have a hell of time passing legalization there.

Texas is apart of the bible belt which is ironic that Christians in the bible belt are fundamentally against any sort of cannabis reform. I speculate that this is probably fallout from the the federal governments effort to demonize cannabis in the past and due to societal stereotypes of cannabis smokers... shame on anyone who allows themselves to reinforce those stereotypes

I wish they would hurry up and just do!
