    I just can't see that as true. I know plenty of people who went only as far as high school that smoke it regularly and plenty of people with college degrees that think it's terrible. I'm a little leery of whoever took the survey as to his methodology.

    I see it as a liberal idea, since the people I know who disapprove of it are conservatives across the board, whatever their level of education.
