"Strongly Favoring Policy, 5%"

God, I'm good.

In 1996, according to NHSDA statistics, 6.1% of those 12 and older used an illicit drug in the last 30 days. This means that at least 1.1% of drugs users strongly believe that drugs should not be legal.

Hmmmm. Even the users don't want drugs to be legal.

A 1998 poll. Find another organization find completely different results. I don't see the actual questions asked, the demographic, sample size, the method. The study did say it was the result of 47 polls between 1978 and 1997, the greatest period during which even talking about doubt that drug policies should be looked at was taboo.

Now, even prominent republicans are raising the question. Considering the vector for legalization of cannabis, you would have to show me the results now. I don't use polls positive or negative; I use commonsense and history.

The war on drugs has been pissing people off for decades. Each year more decide that getting rid of the war is a good thing.

My impromptu analyzes of FR drug threads indicate many who argue against federal drug policy and few who argue in favor.

You have to do better than that.
