Feds should back off when states legalize pot

Americans are divided over whether marijuana should be decriminalized — 50% say no, 48% say yes — but they overwhelmingly agree on this: When states vote to legalize pot, the feds should look the other way.

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, those surveyed say by almost 2-1, 63%-34%, that the federal government shouldn't take steps to enforce federal marijuana laws in states that legalize pot.

The age group most in favor of the feds, well, chilling out, aren't young people but those 50 to 64 years old, members of the Baby Boom generation. Seventy percent say the feds should look the other way, as do 69% of those under 30. Among those between 30 and 49 and seniors 65 and older, 61% oppose enforcement.
