I'm from NJ and most people Ive spoken to about it over the last 25 years have shared the general sentiment that weed should legal, and that drug addicts are ill and are already punishing themselves enough. Including people from different backgrounds that agreed nothing else. Though as someone else commented, it was very different in the 80s and early 90s, but that could also just be how i remember it because I was a child and noone had the internet.
