California Support for Legalized Pot Is Higher than Ever

In 1969, 13 percent of Californians favored pot legalization, 49 percent favored harsher penalties for use and possession. By 1983, supporters had risen to 30 percent. In 2010, it was 50 percent, but a legalization measure failed on a statewide vote. Now, the number has risen to 55 percent. That's according to Mark DiCamillo, director of the California statewide Field Poll.
