The third day of the "2010 Spring Marijuana Survey" sponsored by the grassroots organization Legalize Utah continues to offer honest insight into what people really believe about marijuana, both for medicinal use and straight up legalization.

75% of the 32 responses are men with the largest group reporting an age of 30 or above. Ethnicity shows that 88% of respondents reported they are "Caucasian", with 3% reporting "Hispanic" or "Asian". There have not been any "African American" respondents yet.

A large majority (91%) do not believe marijuana is addictive and 100% report previous or current use of cannabis. 100% of those completing the survey also believe marijuana does have medicinal value.

94% of those responding believe seriously ill patients should be able to utilize whichever medicine works best for them while 78% do not believe marijuana is any more dangerous than prescription or over the counter medications.

When asked if they believe if politicians should determine which drugs work best for seriously ill patients, only 9% answered yes.

Only 3% of those responding agreed that if cannabis were legal for medical use that employers should have the right to fire an employee for using it and only 9% do not believe that marijuana will ever be legalized in ultra conservative states such as Utah or Alabama.

Some of the responses to the question "Do you believe law enforcement should have a part in determining which drugs work best for seriously ill patients include:

"Cops are not doctors and should stick to enforcing the law,including arresting corrupt cops".

"No. The decision should be left up to the patient first of all, and second to the "PROFESSIONALS". These people have devoted their lives to patients/medicine hence the title professionals . They know marijuana is a very effective form of medicating certain ailments".

"It doesn't need to be proven better then existing medication just an other viable option".

"Since we are all made differently, medications react different to each of us differently".

81% of those completing the survey indicated they would be willing to participate in grassroots organizations which are working to legalize medical cannabis.

50% of those responding reported an educational level above high school, with 7% holding a Bachelors degree, 3% holding a Master's degree and 10% with "other", above a Master's.
