Read the Pew poll I linked. The attitude among the population as a whole only crossed over last year, and already its being legalized in several places. Moreover, remember, voters aren't the same demographic as the whole population. They skew older and more conservative. So its quite likely that even though 51% or something of people support legalization, the majority of voters in most places don't. My mom, my wife, and I all are registered in VA. My wife and I support legalization. My mom thinks pot will destroy your life. We don't vote. She always votes.
