It was a simple use of anecdotal evidence.

There are old people who vote, in my experience, who are anti MMJ than who are for it. I certainly disagree that 70% of seniors are pro-legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes. I don't think that number is anywhere near that high, and not many people vote. So I question your use of statistics that don't take into account voters/non-voters. I guess I consider your 70% comment to be anecdotal as well.

Either way it doesn't matter and it's just my opinion.

Also, my sample size of old voting people is probably close to 5, and that's high. So I'm not taking a position of being informed on the matter. No biggie.

edit: I don't question the accuracy of that poll, I just think that study is slightly 'flawed' for the purposes of this discussion, because the study doesn't tell us who and who doesn't vote. So I still think more old people vote anti MMJ than for it. I'm happy to change my opinions if I hear something otherwise.
