Voters in three critical swing states, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, support legalization of medical marijuana by margins of 5-1 or more and also support legalization of recreational marijuana use by smaller margins, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today.

Support for medical marijuana is 84 - 14 percent in Florida, 84 - 15 percent in Ohio and 88 - 10 percent in Pennsylvania, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.

The Swing State Poll focuses on Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania because since 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states.

Support for allowing adults "to legally possess small amounts of marijuana for personal use" is 55 - 42 percent in Florida, 52 - 44 percent in Ohio and 51 - 45 percent in Pennsylvania.

OK, I forgot about the Whiskey Rebellion. If pot isn't re-legalized at the federal, & re-legalized SOON, then maybe the time for a 2nd "Rebellion" has come. Call it the "Ganga Rebellion 2017" if the Feds don't back off.

"I think clean food and properly labeled drugs are one of the good things to come from that era."

Regardless or whether laws of that type are good & useful or not, aren't those topics something that Constitution reserves to the STATES? Where does the Constitution give the Feds the authority to write such laws? That same Progressive Era also had the Feds grab millions of acres of State land for parks, forests, seashores, etc...even after promising the States that they wouldn't do such a thing after they joined the Union. Washington, DC can NOT be trusted in anything they do.

our nation's 1st federal drug laws were written back on the early 20th Century.

You think so?

He's right - the law against which the Whiskey Rebellion was an excise tax not a "drug law" in any rational sense of the term.

I admit I'm tired of answering the same old Libertarian talking points over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Yet you never tire of whining about it over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Like your typical Saul Alynski Leftist, DiogenesLamp tries to change the subject, fully ignore it by refusing to answer, or throw an insult in order to embarrass the person asking the question.

Bingo.
