Americans have spoken, and they want their weed legalized. 

A new poll from Gallup has shown that for first time in US history, a clear majority of Americans favor marijuana legalization. 

With a 10% increase from last year, 58% of Americans now want freedom to smoke their pot.

Support for legalization is divided along party lines (no surprise here). 35% of Republicans support it while 65% of Democrats support legalization. The greatest increase of support has come from independents; in 2012 they were 50%, now they are at 62%.

So what do all of these numbers mean for government? The Obama administration made it clear that they wouldn’t challenge the new weed laws of Colorado or Washington. Has the time come to legalize weed?

A Seattle thrift shop has reported that they received a donation of 2.5 pounds of marijuana. The Seattle Police Dept. poked fun at the situation saying:

“Donating to thrift shops is a terrific way to give a second life to your well-loved velcro sneakers, keyboards or flannel zebra jammies. However, thrift stores cannot accept the following items: tires, soiled mattresses, laptops, and large bags of marijuana.”
