Iowa Survey Results

Q1 Marijuana is now legal for adults in four states, and 39 states -- including Iowa -- have laws that allow patients to access some form of medical marijuana. Yet all state-approved marijuana activities remain illegal under federal law. Regardless of your own opinion on legalization, do you think states should be able to carry out their own marijuana laws without federal interference, or should the federal government arrest and prosecute people who are following state marijuana laws?
