I think at least some, if not most, might change their answers after it became a legal medical option. It depends partly on their personal politics and partly on keeping their opinions private in a hostile environment.

There is a long way to go on this subject. Many many medications are derived from plants, so what is the beef with this one? Is it all about money and who gets it? I think that is part of the issue. Tax it and national debt would go right out the window! ginnie

Indubitably. It is perplexing, and while
attitudes are changing as Boomers age, some changes take more time than others. According to my former college professors, societal change takes (on average) a generation (~30 years) to substantially realize. Of course some (like racism) take longer, and others take less. IMO organized activism makes a huge difference.
Now that 2 states have legalized marijuana, undoubtedly more will follow.

Democratic [Pennsylvania] state Sen. Daylin Leach compared marijuana legalization efforts to the debate over legalizing same-sex marriage: once a few states act, it will disprove "all the horror stories" perpetuated by opponents.
