As others have already said, one doesn't argue for a policy position by using its popularity. Alcohol Prohibition and the Income Tax Amendment both commanded a majority at one time, too. But I hope you have a good source for those numbers. It would be terrible to be called on them in the thick of debate.
PS: I'm pro-legalization.

Have a source for that?
