When looking at Americas past and present infatuation with marijuana? Mainly looking at the period of time between the first federal criminalization of marijuana in 1930; and jumping forward to present time 2010, there has been enormous change in politics and culture and the overall. Yet, the question I have is how much has our society transformed when it comes towards its views on marijuana? And are there any polls that go that far back in time, the oldest poll I was able to find was from the 1980s. The poll administered by CBS asked 1210 random people across the country if their close friends/family smoked pot. Only 38% said yes, whereas 60% said no. Jumping forward to present day, a similar poll was conducted by the Pew Research Center in march of 2010, out of 1500 phone interviews 40% said yes and 58% said no. Bring forth the question how much has our society really changed?
