Everyone seems to be emailing it around all over the place today. "Nearly" 6 out of 10.."Nearly" implies close and really its "Nearly" 5 out of 10 also, which puts us at 50% or in between 60%. What the heck is going on? On the West Coast Im thinking 7-8 should be for this. I would have expected these numbers 5-10 years ago. I guess its better than nothing and some areas, just doesnt feel like a victory to me. Or, my expectations are to HIGH..... I dunno…Russ, how come were so excited over this alreay obvious news.

It is *their* support that we need to get marijuana legalized, and they'll only support it when they see how legalization will benefit their lives. Alcohol and tobacco are legal because it makes non-drinkers and non-smokers safer, and marijuana will only become legal when non-tokers understand that legalization will benefit *them*.
