Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : But Gov. Gavin Newsom, who campaigned for marijuana legalization and serves as an ex-officio member of the state fair's board of directors, has a special obligation to ensure that California balances support for the legal industry with what's best for public health -- and that should include responsible messaging about legal marijuana.
56% : Marijuana will be judged in a highly scientific competition, with licensed growers sending their weed to a lab that analyzes the plants for several chemical compounds associated with flavor and aroma, as well as mental and physical effects.
50% : Californians voted to legalize marijuana with a vision of treating pot more like alcohol -- as a tightly regulated product for adults.
