41 Percent Say Pot Should Be Taxed, Regulated
June 26, 2003 - Washington, DC, USA
Washington, DC: A growing percentage of Americans believe the government should regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol, according to a national poll of 1,204 likely voters by Zogby International and commissioned by the Drug Policy Alliance.
Forty-one percent of respondents agree that "the government should treat marijuana more or less the same way it treats alcohol: it should regulate marijuana, control it, tax it, and only make it illegal for children." That figure is up significantly from the 34 percent of Americans who said they supported legalizing marijuana in a 2001 USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll, and is almost three times as high as the percentage who supported legalization in 1972. So lets get some initiatives on the ballots. Most of all, vote! To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
