While this is a bit of a nick, we shouldn't force something like this onto Minnesota if people are opposed to it, just wait until the public opinion changes.
And wait, what are Dayton's positions on Drugs?
He has a hard stance on illegal drugs, opposes recreational marijuana, and is tentative on medical marijuana, but is widely being accused as the man "blocking" treatment to those with illnesses and seizures. Dayton though has been told by a variety of cops, public health commissioners, and MN medical associations the harms of it like higher blood pressure, larger risks of heart attacks, the impairment of drivers and increase in the rates of car accidents, interferes with learning, judgment, concentration and memory, affects brain development within a baby during a pregnancy, makes you more mentally insane, get hallucinations, feel dizzy and fatigue, destroys brain cells, damages the lungs, is a gateway to other worse drugs from experience and pleasure in feeling high, can destroy the lives of high school and college teens etc. Nonetheless, he's still trying to find a middle line that the legislature and public health officials can agree on and still find a way to reduce seizure rates among children. Dayton is not the enemy and whether giving specific parts of medical marijuana to 5 year olds is proven to work or not, there are better ways out there for quality care for kids with seizures, or adults with Alzheimer's or help with arthritis, anxiety or depression issues.
And despite my opposition to both types of marijuana, this poll is too skewed to the right (with the exception of minimum wage and Klobuchar's approval). Last time I checked, Dayton and Franken had approvals in the high 50s and no way is Obama/Obamacare that unpopular. Ohio is more socially conservative than MN to and Quinnipiac barely had a majority of Ohioans in support of recreational marijuana (though that may have been skewed a little bit, to), so it would pass if it went to a referendum in MN, but very unlikely to happen since Atty. General Lori Swanson, DFL, also opposes synthetic drugs and would make sure it wouldn't get to the ballot.
