Notion. You don't know how many support the legalization of cannabis. You just know what a poll says. Polls run by pro-legalization and anti-legalization show radically different results. However, I can point to a escalating trend over the last two decades, and you can't refute it because it is obvious and illustrated by well known instances, unlike polls.

There has been more and greater questioning of the war on drugs, specifically how it applies to cannabis.

You're losing and you ought to know it.

"You don't know how many support the legalization of cannabis."

And I bet I can ask ten cannabis pro-legalization FReepers on this board to tell me their definition of legalization and I'd get ten different answers.

And if marijuana were actually legalized, I bet it would be different than any of their proposals.

So, you tell me how its possible for anyone know how many support the legalization of cannabis when no one know what form the legalization will take.

You point to polls. The most recent Zogby poll (commissioned by the Drug Policy Alliance)showed 41% favored treating cannabis like alcohol. Oooh. Pretty good, huh?

First of all, it was a loaded question. Secondly, less than 25% felt strongly in favor, while almost 50% felt strongly against it.

Let me design the question. How about, "Do you favor the legalization of marijuana for recreational use? That marijuana should be treated just like alcohol, and that adults should be free to grow their own?"

You will never see a Soros-commissioned poll phrased this way. So don't give me this propaganda crap about Americans wanting to legalize dope.
