Poll: 57% Of Floridians Support Legalizing Medical Marijuana

A big majority of Florida residents support the legalization of medical marijuana, according to a new survey from a Republican pollster. According to the poll, 57 percent of Floridians would back such a move.
The news comes just as there is a serious movement to bring the issue to the Florida ballot in 2012, reports Bob Norman at our Village Voice Media sister blog, the Broward Palm Beach New Times. Under Florida's election rules, such a referendum would require 60 percent of voters to approve before it became law.
In the poll, 800 voters were asked the question, "If there was a Constitutional amendment on the statewide ballot to legalize the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes only when prescribed by a practicing physician and the election were held today, would you vote Yes to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes or No to stop it?"
Of those responding, 41 percent said they would definitely vote yes, while 17 percent said they would probably vote yes. Only 31 percent said they would definitely vote no on medical marijuana.
Interestingly, and counter to poll results from states like California, Florida women are taking the lead on the issue. Women were slightly more supportive of the measure (58 percent) than men ( 56 percent).
White voters, at 59 percent, and Hispanic voters, at 58 percent, were slightly more likely to support medical marijuana than black voters, who still approved by a majority at 55 percent.
Democrats were more supportive than any other political group, with a full two-thirds(!) of Democratic respondents (67 percent) supporting medical marijuana. Only 44 percent of Republicans supported the measure, while Independents, at 63 percent, were almost as approving of medicinal cannabis as Democrats.
More than three-quarters of those self-identifying as "liberal" supported medical marijuana (77 percent), moderates were 65 percent in favor, and only 40 percent of conservatives supported it.
A majority of every single age group supported medical marijuana. The most support came in the 18 to 24 age bracket, with 79 percent support. Even the least supportive age groups -- 65+_ and 35-44 -- supported medicinal cannabis, both at 53 percent.
The most pot-friendy town in Florida appeared to be West Palm Beach, where a whopping 73 percent of residents approve of medical marijuana. The most anti-pot city in the state was Jacksonville, which had only 41 percent support and 44 percent opposing medicinal cannabis.
The poll was conducted by Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates, the same firm that conducted polls for Florida Gov. Rick Scott's campaign.

OK I'll be more explicit: where is it written in the organization's platform?
I'd say they are equal to the idiots who think we should legislate against Ronald McDonald.

and I'd say you are clueless, copare a frivoulus lawsuit cost against McDonalds to the gov cost of arresting 800,000 annually. nuff said nanny state flag carrier
I think you are a bit behind the times. Suggestions of legislation against fast food are current and have nothing to do with any lawsuit.
And again, tell me how the laws changed with the Ds in power? The WoD continues, because they believe that drugs are bad for you... The Nanny state is not partisan, it just is.
And who is that?
Granted the laws on Drugs have not changed much with the Democrats coming to power, but the way they are enforced and applied has changed drastically. Federal Marijuana law is barely enforced under president Obama, it was enforced strengently under President Bush.
*sigh*, I seriously don't believe you actually ignore recent news this much, and the fact that we've held many conversations on just such news stories as the one below might give you a hint about stuff I'm talking about. It's like name dropping, I simply drop mentions of other topics we've held conversations on in threads like this.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/11/02/us-mcdonalds-toys-idUSTRE6A16PR20101102
There's also the discussion on the "voluntary" edicts against advertising that they are trying to impress on fast food companies that they directly state will later become regulation. But we'll stick to current legislation since you really wanted to see that.
Nah, they just supposedly effect you personally more than democrats, however you ignore reality for poll results. When the democrats held both houses with super majorities not even one law changed in this regard. Zero.
Where does it say these are LIberals?
Right. Because San Francisco is chock full of conservatives in power. Please, Jarod. Let's not pretend that we're incapable of understanding that this is a liberal government in a liberal city.

Personally, I am much more okay with government regulations that limit actions of corporations than I am with limitations on the actions of individuals.
I find that Conservatives are much more likely to want to limit the freedoms of individuals while Liberals are more likely to want to limit the powers of corporations.
Which is more of a nanny state... Regulating your marriage or McDonalds Marketing tactics?
