Well, I for one am a conservative who thinks marijuana should be legal. I have plenty of reasons for feeling that way, and personal use for myself is not one of them. I don't use it, but you should be able to if you want.

Would you say you identify more with libertarians than conservatives?

I do have a libertarian view on this whole situation..

A person should have the right to put what ever the hell they want into their own bodies.

It really depends on the issue, but on this one, if the conservatives truly are for keeping marijuana illegal, I am definitely NOT with them.

Most people I've talked to believe it should be legalized, but maybe it's a generational thing. I feel we should make it legal and collect the tax money on it. That'd sure help our economy.

It's not a generational thing every single generation has said this is not working

This man took the words right out of mouth and he is a cop!

I'd consider myself a fiscal liberal. Libertarian on all social issues.

Nope, all my conservative friends and I support legalization. It would reduce the drug trafficking and actually make it harder to get for any 9th grade kid.
