News » Two-Thirds Favor Legalizing Medicinal Cannabis In New National Poll





In a result that illustrates the shift in attitudes about the medicinal use of cannabis, 65% of adults recently polled nationally answered in favor of the use of medical cannabis as opposed to just 30% who were in favor of allowing recreational use. Seems the teeth that used to accompany the legalization issue are all but gone these days.

This while cannabis is still in most states a Schedule I drug, and is not legally allowed for any purpose.

Most respondents felt that the federal government had no place in the issue stating, “Legalization of either medical or recreational use should be left to states, according to most respondents, rather than federal or local government.”
