High Times! Marijuana Legalization Receives 50 Percent Support
In an article from the Associated Press , not High Times Magazine, we see 50% support.
So could the Feds be helping us by stirring the "Pot" early after we have all been so politically faded after 2010?

WASHINGTON Fifty percent of Americans favor legalizing marijuana, according to a new Gallup poll, a record high. And those numbers, up from just 36 percent in 2006, could have significant implications for state and national marijuana policy. The past two decades has seen a marked shift in public opinion on the issue. Asked in 1970 if people thought the drug should be made legal, only 12 percent of respondents agreed. That number rose to 28 percent percent by the late 1970s, dipped slightly lower in the 1980s, and then rose to 36 percent in 2006.
Support has spiked in the past five years, with 40 percent of respondents favoring legalization in 2009 before numbers jumped another 10 percent, according to the annual crime survey conducted Oct. 6-9, with majorities of men, liberals and 18-29 year-olds currently support legalizing cannabis.
The poll numbers come as federal prosecutors are cracking down on medical marijuana dispensaries, vowing to shutter state-licensed marijuana shops regulated by local governments and threatening landlords with property seizures.
