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?
