Fox News Poll: Nationwide Support For Medical Marijuana Legalization At All Time High!

[Logical]

I only post a poll from FOX NOISE because of Republicans are OK with Medical Pot then the tide is turning.

Nearly nine out of ten Americans — including 80 percent of self-identified Republicans — now say that marijuana should be legal if its use is permitted by a physician, according to nationwide Fox News telephone poll of 1,010 registered voters. The poll, released today, was conducted by under the direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) and possesses margin of sampling error of ± 3 percentage points.

According to the poll, 85 percent of voters agree that adults ought to be allowed to use cannabis for therapeutic purposes if a physician authorizes it. The total marked an increase in support of four percent since Fox last polled the question in 2010 and is the highest level of public support for the issue ever reported in a scientific poll.

Although respondents were divided on whether they believed that “most people who smoke medical marijuana truly need it,” the overwhelming majority of voters nonetheless agreed that consuming the plant should be legal if a doctor permits it.

1. Put me in the camp

that believes it should be legal for recreational use. Why try to hide behind the medical excuse?

We all know that anything with the term "medical" applied is marked up 500 percent at a minimum. Take an ordinary chair, call it a medical chair intended for use by the health care industry, and it will list at five grand. This is the only reason the 1% puppets want to attach the medical label.

Profit.

Screw that. Let people grow it and consume it as they see fit. If I had my preference, I would restore prohibition on alcohol. A much, much worse intoxicant.
