If politics makes strange bedfellows, this may be one for the books.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) and Barney Frank (D-MA) plan to introduce a bill on Thursday that would end the federal prohibition on marijuana.

The bill by the conservative Paul and liberal Frank would allow states to determine their own marijuana laws —including medical marijuana laws—without federal interference.

But what do you think? Should marijuana be legal in any form? We’d like to hear from you so take our poll.

As of July 16th, 2011 I took this screen shot. 5% NO, 91% Yes and 4% for Medical only. Over 52,000 votes. I did notice when CNBC first put the poll up, it only had a Yes or No choice and they later added the ‘for medical use only’. Either way, these polls rarely show anything but a need for reform of marijuana laws:
