In a recent poll by Fox News, 85% of American's support medical marijuana:

And 52 % of American's support the legalization and taxation of marijuana:
Survey: 52 percent of Americans in favor of legalizing marijuana - U.S. News
I am sure this poll has happened before on this website, but not for a little while and I wanted to get an overall view of how people felt about this topic. I recently read a topic on the legalization of prostitution which is a topic I don't really have an opinion of.
Anyways, I was recently in Amsterdam since I am studying abroad and I wanted to try their "coffee". I avoided the red light district but I asked a few of the locals what they thought of both subjects and what they thought of the tons of tourists that seemingly carry both industries. With my very disjointed Dutch I found that a lot of people supported both, but they thought that the tourists were annoying in every aspect of Amsterdam except for the coffeeshop owners and others who profit from the tourist industry.
They said it was more of a necessary evil that really helped their local economy.
With America being next in line to start wide-spread legalization (Colorado, Washington) and the profits that these states will probably produce from taxes and tourism, do you hope that your state follow suite?
