Zogby: Americans Want Pot Legalized
That is right. According to a Zogby Poll half of all Americans want pot legalized. A majority of Americans, in a poll released Wednesday, say it "makes sense to tax and regulate" marijuana. The Zogby poll, commissioned by the conservative-leaning O'Leary Report, surveyed 3,937 voters and found 52 percent in favor of legalization. Only 37 percent opposed.It is only a matter of time until national politicians take notice. They can smell the money. And nothing gets politicians as excited as the smell of money. You got it. They want it. All the traffic will bear plus 10%. In that respect they are worse than dope dealers who don't make a sale unless you are willing to buy. But politicians have one important advantage. They make their "sales" at gun point. Very convenient. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 05.14.09 at 02:01 PM

Gee, I just wish cigarettes could be guaranteed legal status in the future. You really think marijuana is gonna get the "green" light?
Donna B. · May 15, 2009 01:28 AM Donna, I'm with you on the cigarette question. It seems that Americans just can't get enough of prohibitions. And yes - after 70 years of folly I do believe Americans are tired of pot prohibition. M. Simon · May 15, 2009 01:33 AM |

Maybe we can hurry along this political awareness process by rebranding marijuana one of America's favorite herbs and coming up with some snappy slogan like "Legalize marijuana, more GREEN for you and me!.
