The visible failure of the war
on drugs, combined with a generational tipping point in
attitudes, has poll after poll showing a majority of adults favouring the
legalization or at least decriminalization of recreational cannabis use.
Tvert says it's «not really a matter of Republicans versus Democrats» because there are members of either party who are «more progressive»
on the
legalization debate than others, «but public
attitudes are clearly shifting... and it's only a matter of time before that is reflected in laws nationwide.»
