Here are some quick numbers from a recent study we did... (sorry for copy/paste formatting)
10. Now moving to a different topic.... As you may know, California's
Proposition 19 would legalize marijuana in the state, allowing
people age 21 or older to possess and cultivate small amounts for
personal use. It would also allow local governments to regulate
and tax commercial production, distribution, and sales of
marijuana.
Would you support or oppose a similar measure to legalize
marijuana IN YOUR STATE?
1) Support 434 43.2
2) Oppose 525 52.2

the election, or not?
1) Yes, would be more likely to vote 395 39.3

14. Suppose a candidate who shares your views on legalizing marijuana
was NOT from the political party whose candidates you usually
support. Would sharing a candidate's position on marijuana be
enough to make you switch parties and support them, or not?

prosecute marijuana users in California, even if their use is
