I wonder what kind of data is out there from the cities and such that decriminalized. If we got the public's opinion captured with something GOOD like reducing murder rates by legalizing weed that would be great, but there is a chance it doesn't catch on and then people associate weed with "wasn't there something in the news about weed and murder being related? I think the decriminalized areas had higher murder rates."

At which point we are worse off in positioning. Sadly it is probably more likely that people wouldn't care much anyway. Most people throw words like global warming around and don't do a thing to stop it let alone understand the problem.
