These questions being asked about legal pot aren't simple yes or no answers. These polls cannot possibly represent the complexity of the issue. In fact, to try to separate something so complex into two parties simply pushes the divisive ideals that are tearing the western world apart. Questions of a political nature, and those that matter to all of us as individuals should be treated with the proper respect. They should not be represented as simple tribalism. That just leads to fear-mongering, not the required education on the subject.

In the short term? Yes. In the long term? No. There will be issues caused by people suddenly having legal access to something that they've had to hide in past. People will go nuts for about a month at most, then things will calm down. By 2020, legal pot will be seen as something rather inconsequential, assuming that there isn't an unknown variable to pot that we have yet to discover.
