USA: Support for legalisation
Drug Abuse
***USA: Support for legalisation
According to a poll by the Economist a majority of Americans support
the legalisation and taxation of cannabis. Even without excluding
subjects who were undecided a clear majority favours treating the
drug equivalently to tobacco and alcohol. Young people are very
strongly in favour, but older participants are also in favour of
legalisation. Breaking the poll down by party, one finds that
Republicans as well as Democrats are in favour, though the former
much more narrowly so. (Source: The Economist of 10 February 2011)_______________________________________________
