gallup.com — More than 4 in 10 Americans -- 44% -- believe the use of marijuana should be made legal, while barely half say it should not. Support for legalization is up from 36% in 2005 and now far exceeds the 31% found at the start of the decade.

Someone who wishes to smoke DMT should have to pass a test first. (if it were legal of course)

You're dreaming. Maybe by 2020, if we're lucky.

Or maybe because "DARE" doesn't work to actually reduce drug use, but instead only sells DARE tshirts & propaganda to the duped?

I think they'll express the love for bigger government in a "cares for us" way, as opposed to the "wants to put us in cages" approach taken so far. The effect, unfortunately, is the same inevitable expansion of an already obese government. I'm so tired of this, because I've been logically correct for so long as the fiscally clueless ignored me. But that's the silver lining of the latest fiscal clusterf**k -- they've been forced to pay attention to logical reality by fiscal reality.

Um, what principle would that be? That individual communities should be responsible for themselves, and not subservient to politically active moralizers?The whole reason we have states rights is so issues like abortion and gun ownership don't become the authority of the feds, and divide the country needlessly as each sides use Washington as their soap box. The federal government has become the means to impose belief on others, be it Christianity or atheism. I don't agree with prayer in schools or abortion, but if people in the south want it I think that's their bag. As a libertarian I'm not the guy you want to try to show as being a states rights populist.If your in the nationwide minority but the local majority why should you be subservient to the majority? This is why the feds were only supposed to protect basic liberties, the national defense, and mediate in interstate disputes.

"I think they'll express the love for bigger government in a "cares for us" way, as opposed to the "wants to put us in cages" approach taken so far"Quick history question: which president locked up thousands of American citizens for the non-crime of having Japanese ancestors? Hint: he's the Democrat's big hero.Don't kid yourself about the Democrats. They don't care about civil liberties any more than any other power-grubbers do.-jcr

NJ laws that are on the books for possession of marijuana are just Draconian.
