Interesting statistics from this article:
-The majority in Western America favor legalization of marijuana (53% to 46%)
-Attitudes towards marijuana in highly correlated with age. 50% of those polled 18-49 favor legalization, while only 28% of those over 65 do.
-If public support continues growing 1-2% per year (as it has since 2000), the majority of Americans will favor legalization in as little as four years.
1 FaverViewed: 5 TimesQuoted: More than 4 in 10 Americans -- 44% -- believe the use of marijuana should be made legal, while barely half say it should not. Support for legalization is up from 36% in 2005 and now far exceeds the 31% found at the start of the decade.

Those investors who cling now to cash are betting they can efficiently time their move away from it later. In waiting for the comfort of good news, they are ignoring Wayne Gretzky’s advice: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.”
