Whether Michigan’s medical marijuana law has made the drug more socially acceptable — for medical uses or recreational — appears to depend on the individual.“Sometimes there’s a perception that college kids have very permissive attitudes about drugs across the board and that is not true at all,” said Amanda Burgess-Proctor, an assistant professor of sociology at Oakland University.Burgess-Proctor teaches the course “Alcohol, drugs and society” and says that while it’s hard to gauge an overall attitude toward marijuana based on the students in her class — especially because they’ve signed up for a course with the word "drugs" in its name — there is one perception that seems to ring true.

i think its made it more socially acceptable for people to voice their opinion on cannabis in both medical and non medical sense. it has also allowed many to be more open in their actual view. many folks do feel they need to hide their true opinions now. that is a bonus on any level.
