Compassionate Americans are making their voices heard. A November 2005 nationwide Gallup poll showed 78% of Americans "support making marijuana legally available for doctors to prescribe in order to reduce pain and suffering." Support spans age groups as well. In a November 2004 AARP poll, 72% of Americans aged 45 and older said that "adults should be allowed to legally use marijuana for medical purposes."
Campaigns to change the laws governing the use of medical marijuana are active and alive in every state in the nation. The upcoming 2008 election year promises to bring about a flurry of legislative activity. Get the latest information about Medical Marijuana legislation.
