On Tuesday, Gallup released a follow-up to the 2011 poll that saw record support among Americans — all Americans — for marijuana legalization. Another poll, another record, as 58 percent of Americans are now behind legalizing marijuana.
That would make legal weed more popular than Congress, more popular than the President — more popular than most things.
Having very near to two-thirds of all Americans behind legalization of marijuana represents a “quadrupling” of support since the late 1960s, shortly before the federal Controlled Substances Act made the magic plant among the most-verboten of all substances.
The 2011 poll showed a dead-even heat for marijuana legalization, with 50 percent in favor and 50 percent opposed.
