Public opinion on cannabis has changed drastically over a relatively short period of time, with more Americans than ever now supporting the legalization of marijuana. However, an ongoing federal prohibition of cannabis forces each state to pass their own unique cannabis legislation, which has created a tangle of conflicting state and federal laws.
