    Not surprising since the country is becoming more liberal by the day.


    A national Pew Research Center poll released Thursday shows the majority of Americans support pot legalization 52 percent to 45 percent, with 72 percent who say that the cost of federal law enforcement efforts are not worth it.
    The results mark the first time in more than four decades of Pew's polling that a majority has taken that position. As recently as a decade ago, only about one-third of American adults backed making marijuana legal. Support for legalizing pot is up 11 points since 2010, the most dramatic change since the late 1960s, according to pollsters. A Gallup survey conducted in 1969 found only 12 percent favored legalizing marijuana use.

    As a "conservative" I support pot being legal. Other than the way you apply it, I do not see much of a difference between it and get blitzed drunk.

    Alcohol could have the same stigma as this stuff. I'm still against the harder drugs, considering their effects on people.

      All for it.
      Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

        It's more that people are becoming more conservative and want less government.

        The war on drugs hasn't work, we are spending shit load of money because of it, get rid of the law.

          Don't smoke, but I'd much rather people smoke weed than drink. Would you rather hire someone who excessively smokes weed or someone who excessively drinks.

            People are just tired of their taxes being wasted. The wod has had zero effect on anyone's ability to buy whatever they want on every street corner.

              That's a double negative... You have one who is a lazy stoned slob or one that will be calling in sick all the time due to hang overs and such. Both type of people are dipshits. I wouldn't hire either.

                you don't know much about people who smoke weed. I agree on the alcohol though.

                  IDK if that's a sign of the country becoming more liberal or just a combination of other factors.

                  First, I think that as a population percentage, more people in the country have at least tried pot at some point in their life. Even if only some minor "experimentation" at least desensitizes and removes some of the stigma.

                  Second, I think that there is a lot more honest education out there on the subject. People aren't as quick to believe the government's propaganda and misinformation about marijuana use.

                  Third, I think that more and more people are of the mind of "what do I care if it is not impacting me".

                  I also hate this being linked to being a 'liberal" or "conservative" issue. I have many opinions that could be identified as one or the other, which would often compete or conflict with the overall party's agenda.

                      He probably does, but they are also criminals in other ways, so he associates the general criminal's attitude and worthlessness with the weed.

                          I guess its hard to convey sarcasm over the internet.

                              Don't get it twisted. Tons and tons of people who smoke weed are the opposite of a lazy slob, and hold high-level positions and work their tails off, dress nice, keep clean, etc. Those types are all around; you just don't realize that they are weed smokers. It just so happens that people who already happen to be deadbeats happen to smoke, too. The two aren't really connected like that. Lazy slobs play video games, too. Does that mean if you play a video game you must be a lazy slob?

                              Heck, you're wrong on the drinking thing, too. Being in the sales industry, I have always been around some hardcore alcoholics. Very few of them call in a lot due to being hungover. The ones that do get shitcanned pretty quick. The majority maintains, shows up, sometimes still drunk, but they can still function. I've been known to drink excessively on a weeknight, and I always show up, hurting or not. Once again, you have irresponsible people who are going to call in a lot regardless of the fact that they drink. You can't accurately turn it around and say that if they drink they will be that type of person.
