HIGHTIMES

The majority of Americans support the legalization of marijuana and ultimately the repeal of prohibition, so says a recent report. Last week, researchers behind the General Social Surveyunveiled the results of their latest dig into the public’s opinion on whether weed should be made legal across the United States.

For the first time in the history of the poll, the results show strong support for full-blown legalization — 52% — while only 42% sided with prohibition.

Although the results are not necessarily staggering, they do represent a significant increase — nearly 10% — from the last time the survey was released in 2012. Interestingly, while 7% of the 1,687 respondents said they were undecided on the issue of legalization, the overall results are nearly identical to a 2014 Pew Survey, which also revealed that 52% of the population stands behind the legalization of the leaf.

Four decades ago, not even 20% of Americans supported the legalization of marijuana, but the numbers began to steadily increase by the late 1970s. Unfortunately, they would soon fold again under President Ronald Reagan’s revitalization of the War on Drugs, and by 1990, there appeared to be little hope that the movement to legalize weed in the United States could even survive — only 16% of the population stood behind it.
