Prohibition of cannabis is over. It may not be legally over yet, but in the minds of men and women, it’s over.
A new YouGov poll shows a new record high of Americans now support the legalization of marijuana by a widening gap. Americans that support legalization grew to 55% while those who support prohibition fell to 33%.
The poll showed for the first time a majority of republican voters now support marijuana legalization. Not for medical cannabis, mind you, because a large majority already supported that. A majority of GOP voters now support full legalization for all uses, including recreational.
With several more states voting to legalize cannabis in some fashion this November, expect to see the walls of prohibition continue to crumble.

It ought to be. The last 65 years has been spent imposing a society that requires a person to be sprayed with soma to live in it.

It'll be fine poison. But people will take it willingly.

Oh, are you referring to the deadly pharmaceutical drugs that you and others of the repulsive psychiatric "profession" dispense like candy, even to toddlers?

Why? To profit pharma, prisons and cops?

There is no established fatal dose of THC for humans - in fact, the only lab animals they've been able to kill with THC are mice, and then only with intravenous delivery.
Fatal alcohol poisoning, by contrast, is a well known phenomenon.

Entirely relevant to your false identification of marijuana as a "poison".

Marijuana debilitates the mind, but not the body.
I don't hang out with drunks.

Then it's not a poison, contrary to your original statement.
Do you support banning their mind debilitator?
