A major difference between today’s marijuana legalization advocates and those from the past are their arguments. Instead of “peace, love, and legal marijuana,” they are now arguing “tax benefits, reduced court and law enforcement costs, and medicinal benefits.”

These advocates are smart, and they know exactly which buttons to push. They’ve collected data on the size of the market and the amount of money (in the form of tax revenues) each state could earn by legalizing the substance. Because marijuana is such a topic of interest, media organizations analyze, publish, and republish this data. This, combined with other factors, has changed the public’s view of marijuana. You can see in the chart below that in 1969, 84% of the country was against legalization and only 12% was for legal marijuana. As of Gallup’s last poll in October, 51% of the country is for legalization and 47% is against it.
