Tag: americans and legalize marijuana

I’ve often wondered about the conservative pushback against marijuana since I first tried it. In 2012, Washington and Colorado became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana. At the time I was in high school and had no strong opinion about it. Every year it seems more and more attitudes are changing in favor of legal marijuana, including mine.

A survey released this week shows Americans remain divided over the legalization of marijuana.

According to the Public Religion Research Institute 45 percent of Americans favor making the use of marijuana legal, while 49 percent are opposed.
