COLORADO HAS DONE IT…AND MOST NEW MEXICANS SAY THEY ALSO FAVOR LEGALIZING RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA. A POLL IN SUNDAY’S ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL SHOWED 61 PERCENT SUPPORT FOR THE IDEA, WITH 34 PERCENT OPPOSED.
BRIAN SANDEROFF WITH RESEARCH AND POLLING INC CONDUCTED THE POLL…AND TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB THIS IS PART OF A GROWING TREND. HE SAYS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE BECOMING MORE MODERATE AND LIBERAL ON SOCIAL ISSUES LIKE GAY MARRIAGE AND LEGALIZING RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA.
HOWEVER, LEGISLATION IS ANOTHER THING. RECENT ATTEMPTS IN SANTA FE TO LEGALIZE POT HAVE FAILED…AND SANDEROFF SAYS IT MAY BE A LONG TIME BEFORE SUCH A LAW IS PASSED.
