But as they aren't treated equally yet, do you must see both movements as

But this is just the issue at hand. The Clinton Adminstration is threatening
physicains with loss of authority to prescribe as a penalty for
prescribing marijuana and 30 of 33 Ohio State Senators voted to repeal the

marijuana. The contrast between the behavior of public officials and public
opinion would be interesting (if indeed you are correct and the survey does
represent public opinion).
