Has smoking pot become socially acceptable?

[Wrecking Ball and Chain]

Yes. I mean when management casually talks about it at my work I'd say so. Plus imagine pulling out pot at a party and anyone freaking out and being like "OMG, THAT'S MARIJUANA!"

[Sewer]

It seems so.

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

     To no one's surprise, it was already socially acceptable where I live.

[Scam of God]

Yes, and it's high time other minor drugs are socially accepted as well - I'm thinking chiefly of opium, as well as other natural narcotics like psylocybin and salvia and peyote.

[Jack Vance RIP]

To anyone under 35-40 and is an (sub)urban dweller, yes. Still wouldn't want to talk about it to my fairly liberal but difficult parents and my grandparents even less.

[fezzyfestoon]

Yeah, I'd say so.

[Harry]

Yes, among most of my friends, though it's not acceptable to me.  I would leave very quickly if someone started smoking it in front of me.

[fezzyfestoon]

Why?

Why?

In Mississippi, you get the death penalty for smoking.

[President Marokai]

I suppose so, but it still makes me uncomfortable, as all drugs do.

[dialectical fetishist]

No.

[Sibboleth]

Depends where thou bist.

[afleitch]

Depends where thou bist.

Certainly not in my house My dad was - probably - a pot smoking glam rocker in his youth, but if he tried that now....

[President Marokai]

I suppose so, but it still makes me uncomfortable, as all drugs do.

Oh please,

I don't mind if people do all the drugs they want to, personal responsibility, individual freedom, all that jazz. I just have no personal interest. I've never even tasted alcohol, honestly.

[dialectical fetishist]

I take that as an insult.

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

where i live sure. but is not something ppl brag about if they are smart considering the police at our school made us do a line up three times.

[Vepres]

Sure, but I don't like it. I don't like being around smokers, period.

[Wrecking Ball and Chain]

Depends where you are -in the more edgy counter-culture cities like Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco, I would expect it to be more acceptable than more conservative areas, including the DC metro area.

Since when is DC any remotely resembling conservative? Or considering much of my personal experience on this comes from there, North Dakota edgy and counter-culture?

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

A lot of the people I work with literally smoke it on their breaks, so yeah.

[dead0man]

Our last three Presidents have smoked pot at some time in their lives, I'd say it's acceptable.

[Grad Students are the Worst]

Sort of.

Kind of like The Gay -- still plenty of strong opposition, no longer a dealbreaker, but still not really completely accepted by most of society.  And our peer groups are probably a lot more accepting of it than the aggregate of mainstream American society.

Yopu're a turd, not an edgy counter-culturalist.

The demographics that are in favor of legalizing weed and legalizing gay marriage are pretty similar. The breakdown by age and religious affiliation should be strikingly similar to gay marriage. There are differences in other demographics such as men being more in favor of marijuana and women being more in favor of gay marriage. Education levels won't be as predictive of the vote as with gay marriage. Racially it looks like Latinos are most in favor of legalizing weed with whites being about average and blacks opposing it (based on an exit poll in NV which very well could be wrong). If this is the case it bodes well for any legalization initiatives in CA. I think the most crucial demographic to win for both sides will be unmarried women.

[Snowguy716]

Among the young generation, probably.  For society as a whole, not yet.
