Nearly three out of four (72%) said pot smokers should not be arrested in those states, more than two-thirds (68%) said the federal government should not arrest growers in those states, and nearly two-thirds (64%) said it should not arrest sellers.The poll comes in the wake of last November’s marijuana legalization victories in Colorado and Washington and as the Obama administration contemplates its response.
