Higher than ever, a new Quinnipiac poll released on 4/20 indicates America’s recently surveyed electorate overwhelmingly supports the idea of legalizing marijuana in the United States.
Broken down along several demographics, the poll surveyed 1,062 voters from April 12 – April 18. Primarily inquiring how voters felt about the Trump Administration during its first 100 days in office, the survey also asked if:
“The use of marijuana should be made legal in the U.S.?”
Of those surveyed, 60% felt that marijuana should be legalized in the U.S., with 73% opposing any federal intervention against states that have voted to legalize medical or recreational marijuana.

Environmental Question:
Marijuana’s Schedule 1 status is also high on the list of things most Americans want to see changed, with 76% of those surveyed believing that marijuana should be reclassified from a Schedule 1 narcotic.
