While the issue of illegal drugs is very controversial and may not be agreed upon by all, it seems as if more people become open to the idea of marijuana legalization for medial purposes. According to a poll conducted by CBS News in January of 2014, a whopping 86% of people agreed with the statement, "Do you think doctors should be allowed to prescribe small amounts of marijuana for patients suffering from serious illnesses, or not?" The same question only garnered 12% of responders who disagreed that this was okay. The fact that over 80% of the polled agreed to the idea of legal marijuana for medical purposes has many implications. It shows that even those who may just be against marijuana in general become more open minded if the drug is used in a beneficial way. What do you think?
