CNBC Poll: Do you favor the decrim. of marijuana use?

cnbc.com — Currently, 13 states have laws on the books stating it ’s not a crime to possess small amounts of marijuana. Internationally, other countries have similar legislation. A number of studies reveal legalization of pot does not necessarily lead to increased usage.

There is a lot going on right now. Washington state is attempting to do what Massachussets did with decriminalization. There is also a federal bill that's in the senate right now to decriminalize on a federal level.

Times are changing!

cant wait to see it, hope it show the truth about the issue, and doesnt slander it. I hope they put up the results of the poll as well on the show.

Oh, I see. Does anyone know how this federal bill will be looked at? Is it just a waiting game till they decide to look at it? Or is there a specific date? I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but It's hard since I want to see decrim so bad. The laws in my state for possession are absolutely ridiculous.


*edit- nevermind, i did some research and found that it never even made it to a committee. Shame.

I voted, 98% in favor of, they can't ignore us forever.

Thanks for posting that link !!!
