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.
