And its a old Gallup poll from October 2017.

The 64% of Americans who say cannabis should be legal in a new Gallup poll released on Wednesday represents the highest level of support in the organization's 48 years of polling on the topic.

The new survey also shows that a majority of Republicans -- 51% -- support legalization for the first time. Seventy-two percent of Democrats and 67% of independents are on board.

I'm not a pothead either however with this kind of support it should be easy for congress to change some laws to at a minimum decriminalize pot.

Decriminalizing is making it legal by definition of not being criminal.

Maybe you wouldn't be such a dickhead if you smoked a little.

Legalized marijuana is not something we need. Medical, ok, but people don’t realize the problems legalization would create...

Yeah, but how many people when polled said, "I don't give a shite"? I think that number may rival the pro pothead #.

Everybody sees the alcohol lobby and big pharma for what it is. Supporting legal marijuana is basically:

There is a middle ground. Commercialization of pot should be off limits.
Growing a couple of plants in your home for personal use should be legal.
With this kind of measured approach I don't think pot use would increase that much. However if pot were commercialized and widely distributed use would skyrocket.

Please explain then. Alcohol is and always will be worse than pot. Cigarettes are more harmful than pot. Look at confirmed kills.
Some people smoke too much pot, some people drink too much booze and some people smoke too many cigs.
Why can’t we set age limits? Let’s criminalize alcohol... it is the true killer and I have tried both. College scares me for my kids, thinking back to what I had done on booze. I would rather my kids smoke pot than drink any day. I would just prefer some responsibility. That comes down on me as a parent.
Anti pot sentiment with what is currently legal is the most asinine thing I have ever seen.

It's not only the alcohol lobby and big pharma it's the criminal justice industry.
The alcohol and big pharma lobbies what protection from competition. The criminal justice industry enjoys the fruits of locking people up.

Congress could take care of this if they wanted to. FTR, I don't care if it's legal or not.

Good to know that the only things that are legal are needs.

Please extrapolate this list of problems?
What about the problems criminalizing it has created? An erosion of the 4th Amendment, militarized police departments, expansion of government bureaucracy, an increase in prison population, and criminal convictions for simple possession hurting low class employment chances which in turn leads to higher rates of unemployment and welfare, are all some of the problems criminalizing a plant has caused in this country.

If Trump would fire Sessions and order the DOJ to reschedule Marijuana, it would be the single biggest act to end the cycle of Black poverty in modern history.
If you stop giving police an easy reason to search young black men, then you stop giving them a reason to arrest young black men, then you start keeping young black men out of jail. That makes them multitudes more likely to (1) get a job (2) keep a job (3) not be in a gang and start committing violence (4) support their children.

I've been an on-the-fence Trump supporter and I think this is a lose-lose.
Trump needs to tell Sessions to leave it alone. It can ONLY hurt this administration.
There is NOTHING to gain by even touching this. I don't understand why they're even talking about it.

Because it pushes the issue to Congress, who is the law making body of our government.
I for one don't want the executive branch of our government publicly declaring they're going to ignore certain laws. And you shouldn't want that either.

Why not have Our Congress people change the law. Of for and by the people right?
Sessions is upholding the current law where we need the congressional body to work together to decriminalize. Props to sessions doing the right thing.
Once again from a pro pot POV
ETA giantkiller. Your thoughts aren’t wrong, look bigger picture of states taking back power. Love or hate potus he got people to pay attention to our corrupt govt. we will have to clean out state swamps too
