Fifty two percent of Americans now support legalization.
In 1991 that was seventeen percent.
Extrapolating roughly, support for legalization hits 75% in 13 years.
"The overall shift in support is driven by younger Americans who overwhelmingly support legalization, with nearly two-thirds of people born since 1980 (between ages 18 and 32) saying marijuana should be legal (65 percent). "
