In an LA Times article released April 20 by Shelby Grad titled ‘Majority oppose marijuana legalization, new poll finds”. With California being the state, which has the most people making a break to make marijuana legal, a new poll has shown that a lot of Americans are very opposed to it.
The Associated Press CNBC poll, 33% of respondents favored legalization while 55% opposes it. They came to a conclusion that most of respondents who favored this notion were the younger citizens and the older citizens strongly oppose the notion. California voters in November will consider the issue of pot legalization, which is likely to be a highly watched campaign. The 10-page California initiative allows someone 21 or older to possess, share and transport up to an ounce for personal use and to grow up to 25 square feet per residence.
Now ask yourself this question is the local government going to have any control of this? The answer is yes this initiative states that “local governments, but not the state, to authorize the cultivation, transportation and sale of marijuana and to impose taxes to raise revenues”. I personally feel that not only should the local government have control but also the federal government, because who knows maybe people will get out of hand with how much they will share and transport, and maybe even find ways to go around the legal rules.
