I worked in Reno when Nevada became the first state in the Union to put a measure on the ballot legalizing recreational marijuana (up to 2 oz.), I think in 2003 or 2004. It polled above 60% in favor, but when it came time to put down the bong and go vote, it ended up over 60% against. I think it will definitely pass on the west coast some year soon, but the nation as a whole won't accept that and you will still have these problems when you venture into "the REAL 'muricah".
