Marijuana is an addictive, gateway drug. It significantly impairs bodily and mental functions, and its use is related to increased violence. These are facts. Yet proponents of legalizing the drug studiously deny or downplay the well-documented dark side of marijuana trafficking and use.
The year 2013 marked the first time that more than 50 percent of Americans polled said that they supported legalizing marijuana â the same year that Colorado and Washington voted to legalize marijuana for recreational use, Gallup said. Last year, 58 percent of Americans said they thought using pot should be legal. In the upcoming election on Nov. 8, five states â California, Arizona, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada â will vote on whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Recreational marijuana is currently legal in four states and the District of Columbia. Support for legalizing marijuana has increased more among younger people, with those in older age groups, Gallup said.
