America is open to legalizing marijuana... Romney is to socially conservative for this and will not succeed because his attitudes.

Exactly. Romney needs to grow a beard and appear on TV with Snoop Dog and have a big smokeout. It's the only way he can win.

No not all of America. If it were it would already be done.

Medical marijuana is overwhelmingly supported and recreational legalization has a slim margin of approval over disapproval. It also passed everywhere it was on the ballot as a question except Florida where it needed 60% (got 57%) where it will likely pass in the next cycle.

I find the conservative obsession with freedom and small government at odds with the fetish they seem to have for drug prohibition.

And my statement still stands: Not ALL of America ...

And Now you: Is that every single American must be in favor of something a rational threshold for enacting legislation or passing a referendum?

I never said "Every single American " had to be in favor. It is still a federal crime in all 50 states.

Read through the above posts and see if you can follow along...

What is the approval threshold you're looking for then and the rationale behind it? 60%? 70%? 80%?

For people who who favor politicians and a party that is always talking about the "will of the people" and "small government" there is a curious reluctance to endorse the aforementioned "will" when it doesn't align with your personal beliefs.
