CNN/Time Poll conducted by Harris Interactive. Oct. 23-24, 2002: "Do
you favor or oppose the legalization of marijuana?"
Favor: 34%
Oppose: 59%

If you assume America is about 50-50 liberal-conservative its clear
that more conservatives would be against legalization but its also
clear that only about 2/3rds of liberals sup****t legalization.

There isn't one.

>God made the plant.

God made arsenic, anthrax and pedophiles.  

>The right wing wants to criminalize something God made.  Are
>they saying that God made a mistake?

God made peanuts AND people with peanut allergies.

Your assumption that all left wingers are Atheists will come as quite
a shock to tens of millions of God-believing Democrats....
