Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling for a large-scale study on the question of whether to legalize marijuana ^[1]. Arnold wants the study to include international comparisons to show the possible impact of such a change. Cato just released such a study concerning Portugal ^[2].

Our friends at NORML are running ads like this in some markets.

Over at Reason ^[3], Jacob Sullum takes a look at national Zogby poll numbers, which shows that a majority of voters support marijuana legalization.
