Most politicians, whether Republican, or Democrat, are opposed to legalization. While it's probably true that more Democrats are open to the idea, Arnold Schwarzenegger and some other Republicans are progressive about it. Although not in politics any more, William F. Buckley is actually in favor of legalization for all adults â?? not just for medical users. He'd be the last guy you'd think would try it, but he HAS smoked, albeit on a boat in international waters, lol.

â??We're not going to find someone running for president who advocates reform of those laws. What is required is a genuine republican groundswell. It is happening, but ever so gradually. Two of every five Americans, according to a 2003 Zogby poll cited by Dr. Nadelmann, believe â??the government should treat marijuana more or less the same way it treats alcohol: It should regulate it, control it, tax it, and make it illegal only for children.â??

Such reforms would hugely increase the use of the drug? Why? It is de facto legal in the Netherlands, and the percentage of users there is the same as here. The Dutch do odd things, but here they teach us a lesson.â?
