Summary: Parade magazine results!!!



    Here's the results from the Parade magazine poll:

     NEW YORK, July 28 (Reuter) - Marijuana should be as legal as alcohol and
made available for medical purposes, according to a telephone poll conducted by
Parade Magazine.
     More than 50,000 readers took part in the informal poll, using a telephone
line set up by the magazine following an article it published on marijuana. The
results will appear in the current issue of the magazine, which goes on sale
Sunday.
     The survey found that 89 percent said marijuana should be legal for medical
purposes with 75 percent of the participants saying they felt it should be as
 legal as alcoholic beverages.
     The survey also found that of the 51,797 people who called to express their
opinion, women outnumbered men by 7 percent.
     Thirty-five percent of the callers said they were frequent users of
marijuana. Another 32 percent said they used the drug occasionally. Nearly 20
percent said they never touched it.
     The callers ranged in age from under 18 to over 75. A majority of the
callers were between ages 26 and 50.


    Finally!  89%!!!   Think America is waking up yet?  I think so!
