41. There is barely majority support for legalization on the West Coast.
It's at about 50%. And that's the most pot-friendly region.

The Nevada initiatives pulled over 40%, but not the 50.1% needed. Colorado is also very close. Hell, Denver voted to legalize it already. Alaska also came very close; maybe it was those darned provisions requiring reparations for pot law victims that killed that one.

But in California, there is already de facto personal legalization under the extremely loosely written medical marijuana law. And that's providing an idea of what legal, regulated marijuana distribution could look like. Hell, I am a certified California medical marijuana caregiver, even though I'm not even a resident. That means I can grow, buy, possess, and transport pot "for my patient." It's a fucking get out of jail free card.
