you know, in the case of marijuana - people are not more likely to tell some anonymous person they support something illegal, right? Your claim is silly and you have NO EVIDENCE to support it - just your belief.
Where you CAN find EVIDENCE is at the level of state and local laws. You choose to ignore these, repeatedly.
However, the reality is that a near-majority of the voting population of the United States, at the level of the state, has voted to legalize medical marijuana. The reason the laws took so long to be implemented was because of the nasty-ass politicians in states who wanted to ignore the will of the people.
The evidence indicates that Americans are FAR, FAR AHEAD of politicians on this issue.
The evidence indicates that politicians have such CONTEMPT for the American people that they have worked to undermine laws that people have voted to pass.
That's the reality. It really doesn't matter what you think when the history of legislation on this issue shows you are wrong. But, see, this is the strange thing - you don't give a damn that evidence indicates you are wrong. You insist on repeating things that are clearly bullshit.
So, again, why do you bother to comment on this issue when your comments are demonstrably lies?
It's like arguing with a creationist.
