Two thirds of Republicans oppose legalizing marijuana. Only one third of Democrats oppose legalizing marijuana:

The following study may explain why this matters.
A study more than thirty years in the making found that smoking marijuana permanently lowers intelligence, or IQ. Frequent pot smokers (even those who had given up marijuana) tended to have deficits in memory, concentration, and overall IQ. The reduction in IQ for those who smoked pot heavily prior to age 18 was most pronounced: an average of eight points. An eight point reduction in IQ is enough to have a significant, negative impact upon your life. To put it into context, consider that individuals with an IQ of 110 have an average net worth of $71,000 and individuals with an IQ of 120 have an average net worth of $128,000. It looks like smoking pot can lower your tax bracket.
This explains a lot. Why would anyone be stupid enough to think that any of the following people are capable of handling responsibility:
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, John Edwards, John Kerry etc.
See above. Any questions?
