Despite tons of research on drug use and drug side effects, too many Republicans have been fooled into thinking of marijuana as an exception. 

A poll released Tuesday showed that most Republican voters in Missouri, Wyoming, and Ohio support making marijuana regulation a state topic rather than a federal one. However, if marijuana regulation went to the states, I fear that not many states would outlaw its recreational use. Fifty-five percent of Republicans and 52% of conservatives want to legalize marijuana. Approximately 1 in 10 Americans smoke marijuana monthly.
