Here's the truth from robertpaulsen on this 2003 poll:
QUESTION: "Some people say the government should treat marijuana more or less the same way it treats alcohol: it should regulate marijuana, control it, tax it, and only make it illegal for children."
Strongly agree with legalization -- 23.5%.
Somewhat agree with legalization -- 17.4%.
Somewhat disagree with legalization -- 11.4%.
Strongly disagree with legalization -- 45.3%.
Nearly half the public strongly opposes legalization, and less than a quarter strongly supports it. There's the real, and complete, truth.
