You are being duped buddy. Either that or you are just DU.
The poll was commissioned by a pro-legalization group but it was a scientific poll done by Zogby.
Do you really think the DEA or a government agency would commission a such a poll or if they did announce the results?
As far as I know noone is disputing the results.
Bottom line is that you do not have to be a druggie to support legalization. Some people just realize how much of a failure this war has been and that maybe another approach might work instead of being stuck on stupid. It makes no sense that alcohol and cigarettes are legal but pot is not, especially considering that the other two drugs are much more harmful.
I not support people chewing tobacco either, but that does not mean it should be illegal. There may be other ways to handle it. In any case, 40 years into the drug war and so far nothing has been accomplised.

“Drug war” is misnomer COINED BY NIXON? IN THE 70’S WHEN DRUG USE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. It cannot be “won” in the short term. A healthy society must be vigilant against those forces that undermine its health. So, the struggle will continue....
Good people have been fighting evil for THOUSANDS of years.
This is another form of that struggle. It will never end.
Your other premise is flawed. Alcohol and tobacco are not nearly as wickedly dangerous as drugs. Drugs are far more insidious than alcohol or tobacco use. THC in weed is a potent debilitaing substance. You know that yet you support its use. That says it all.

"As far as I know noone is disputing the results."I am.
I'm disputing the presentation of the results. It's biased and incomplete. It totally distorts the actual results.
But, what do you expect from a Soros-backed, pro-legalization group? The truth?
