In Massachusetts, a DAPA Research poll conducted for the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition/NORML
found that 58% support legalizing marijuana and regulating it like
other agricultural commodities with sales prohibited to underage persons.

World Leaders Make International News by Calling for Marijuana Legalization and End to Drug War
http://www.alternet.org/drugs/153298/9_huge_blows_to_the_catastrophic_war_on_drugs_--_will_we_have_sane_drug_policy_some_day
This article disusses a possible end to the failing drug war in the near future. World leaders including former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan; Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group; four former presidents, including the commission's chairman, Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil; George P. Shultz, former U.S. Secretary of State; Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve are forming an alliance to set new policies in motion. They are trying to initiate legalization experiments, along with greater health awareness and substitutions for incarceration including treatment possibilities. This is a great step towards ending the war on drugs, which in turn will hopefully greatly decrease the amount of people incarcerated for nonviolent crimes.
