Polling on Marijuana legalization

The 2012 Texas Democratic Party platform had a plank on the legalization of marijuana. This polling is interesting http://blog.norml.org/2013/10/08/everything-is-bigger-in-texas-including-support-for-marijuana-legalization/

PPP’s polling found that 58% of Texans support regulating marijuana like alcohol and only 38% were opposed. This change in policy was supported by 59% of women, 70% of Democrats, 57% of Independents, a majority of all racial demographics, and a majority of all age demographics.

The survey also reported that 58% of Texans supported medical marijuana and 61% supported the decriminalization of possession of an ounce or less.
