Recently, a Harris Poll developed a number of interesting statistics with respect to the use of marijuana in America.  In excess of 3,000 adults were interviewed this winter to complete the study.  The results of the survey were in line with an earlier survey of similar purpose conducted by ABC News in conjunction with the Washington Post.  Some of those numbers indicate that:

    A.    75% of adults in the country endorsed medical marijuana laws.

    B.    51% of adults in the country maintain that if marijuana/pot is decriminalized the crime rate in the country would be reduced.

    C.    75% of the citizens recognize that the legalization of marijuana/pot would generate a significant increase in tax dollars:

    D.     42% of the people supported legalization of marijuana versus 49% who resisted the proposition.  These numbers changed in New England which is soon becoming the focal point of the legalization of marijuana in the county.  There, 50% of the population would allow the  recreational use of marijuana/pot without legal consequence.   People in the West maintain the same statistic on the issue as well.
