As New England states begin to explore legalizing the drug, a new Quinnipiac Poll shows a majority of Americans support ending prohibition on marijuana.
Fifty-four percent of respondents agreed that "marijuana should be made legal in the United States" with no other qualifications. Men backed the proposal 60-37, while women were closely divided, 48-46.
"The fact that a majority of American voters favors legalizing marijuana in general shows how attitudes about the drug have changed," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the poll at the Hamden university.
A perennial legalization bill was raised in the General Assembly this year but wasn't subject to a public hearing. But lawmakers held an informational hearing at the Capitol complex, bringing in experts in the field including one of the architects of Colorado's legal marijuana program.
Last year, a Quinnipiac Poll showed 63 percent of Connecticut voters supported allowing adults to legally possess small amounts of marijuana for personal use.
Theory, many women are against weed due to the stereotypes surrounding it (fat, loser, unemployed, slow, politically dissenting, "red flagged"), which all signal sexual unattractiveness to them, rather than any objective reason.

For once women vote in a way that doesn't destroy western civilization.

420 would have porevented this

Why some non-violent consumption should be even up to debate, because some people don't like it?

Idk m8, I feel like I can replace any desire for women with enjoying bud. Weed just makes me not want to go out of my way for roasties. I feel like they know this. Men would be way better off enjoying tree after work then striving to get cucked and complained to in the spare time. Women must have our attention and weed is a competitor to them
Jack Torres
I can see it. Women usually attempt to corner the market when it comes to male attention.
It's why they're so opposed to male spaces, oppose prostitution and attempted to shut down video games.
It's all a ploy.
A manipulation of the market.
Same here.

Yes, this is a theory I can agree with

So I have a (very likely right) similar theory that feminists target engineering and IT for a similar stereotype of workers in this field being unhygenic, fat, lacking social skills and intimidating, which is why more women in code is important but not more women in law or more women in surgery or more women in mining or even more women in mechanical engineering.
It has nothing to do whether or not you're lusting over them, that's unimportant, especially since she'll automatically assume you're an unattractive stereotype if you're either a stoner or an engineer or in IT and therefore she'll actually prefer you keep your sexual advances to yourself.
The point I'm making is women are attacking these people, or in weeds case not supporting their movement, not out of logical reasoning but based on negative stereotyping. In the end women talk about stereotypes more in general because they're more prone to believing stereotypes, they are ultimately more socially minded, more collectivist and therefore more hierarchical.
Again, what I'm talking about how nothing to do with sexual capital. At all.

i know a lot of girls that are much more "mom conservative" compared to guys.
the kind of irrational, harsh, non-backed by fact conservativeness that sounds like DRUGS ARE BAD BECAUSE THEY KILL YOU
maybe they think about the offspring or whatever.
>meanwhile guys have Evolian LSD trips about the whole nordic pantheon and the summoning of the blood spirit of our ancestors
Colton Adams
I can see where you're coming from and I can agree with it for the most part, but I'm 100% convinced that many women know they could be replaced or ignored with bud. Men who find weed are more likely to be happier without women/ go MGTOW meme
Anthony Lopez
Everybody knows the only ones who actually support prohibition are LEAs, drug dealers, and hardcore statists. >supporting prohibition Why?
Jonathan Stewart
>Arbitrarily limiting personal freedoms and wasting police resources aka our tax dollars Naw, m8, it's just another example of why female suffrage is a huge mistake.
If you don't bother watching these and doing your research, hearing opinions that debate your own thoughts you're a fucking moron and shouldn't bother responding to me.
Jace Rodriguez
Dude... weed...
Jacob Long
I'm not gonna watch that shit, nigger
Charles Gonzalez
As someone with my medicinal card here in Nevada, Weed is completely fucking degenerate and I'm against the legalization of it entirely.
Medical is fine but even that needs to be cracked down on. The doctors don't even know a damn thing about weed and are only giving recommendations for quick $.
>mfw form says "I have discussed with the patient the pros and cons of medical marijuana" >mfw they don't even fucking know a thing about weed
Nathaniel Jones
Recovering marijuana addict here. I began using recreationally but eventually used it as a crutch to cope with anxiety and stress. It got to the point where I would use constantly every day just to keep myself at a normal level.
I stopped cold turkey last week and the first few days were tense, but even now I am finding my mind is sharper and I am finding more productive means of dealing with stress and anxiety.
So legal dude weed is a big mistake. It keeps you from confronting life's problems head on and growing as a person.
Jason Jones
I live in Denver, the marijuana capital of the world, and I have seen 0 negative effects from legalization. Literally none.
The people who smoke a lot of weed now are the same people that would have bought it illegally before. However now the state takes a cut instead of Tyrone. It has been a resounding success here.
There are no fact based arguments against legalization.
Also, I don't smoke.
Ethan Myers
>I can't control myself because I'm mentally weak. Ban this stuff!
Elijah Brown
Kys, you sound like your shit personality and characteristics were the problem Do you want to ban all guns, alcohol, and OTC meds because of anecdotes like yours?
Wyatt Rogers

Adam Torres
Government is pushing this agenda so that the US becomes even more dumbed down and votes in stupid things like accepting hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees and agreeing to take away guns. Basically easier to brainwash someone who is fucking drugged up.
Josiah Martin
I'm fine whichever way it goes. If it's legalized it just removes more of them from the competition.
Ryan Young
Study is done in Sweden. Can't be taken seriously. Sweden had zero tolerance policy and every research is continuation of state agenda. Fuck Sverige.
Robert Thompson
That is nothing compared to the withdrawals alcoholics go through, which can include hallucinations and seizures. Yet it's perfectly legal and embraced by society.
What? I was a pure blue pill before I even tasted booze or weed smoke. I could write in Hitler in November if I get high enough
Asher Lopez
Please fucking legalize it because migrants and pot tourism is ruining the Denver real estate market. Turn your shitty little noreaster towns into pot havens and take some of the burden off us senpaitachi
Dylan Johnson
...What study? It's statistics from the US...
Jordan Williams
Also in Denver, technically Golden but close enough. The only downside to legalization is the traffic and higher rent prices. There's been a huge influx of stoners so the roads are always fucked and it's impossible to find a nice place to live. Also when it first started there were a lot of issues with people being jackasses and smoking in public places. I hope its legalized nationwide honestly, maybe some of these DUDE WEEDs will get the fuck out of my beautiful state.
Landon Reed
>majority of people support legalization
Good thing America isn't a democracy or the people might actually get what they want.
Ryder Phillips
Legalization only changes the dealer. Your life will not suddenly have meaning. You will still live in mom's basement.

This guy fucking knows. It doesn't help out local business because most tourists get high in their hotel room and eat Wendy's. Faggot landlords are using up rentals for airbnb. Houses that sold for 150k four years ago now go for 600k, it's a mess.
Jeremiah Flores
