Tustin, CA: Americans have grown increasingly supportive of legalizing marijuana over the past decade, according to a meta-analysis of over 70 public opinion polls conducted since 2015. The analysis, provided by the consumer research company CBD Oracle, determined that public support for legalization grew from an average of 53 percent in 2015 to an average of 62 percent today. Respondents’ age and political party affiliation influenced their attitudes. Seventy-one percent of Democrats currently favor legalization versus only 48 percent of Republicans. Sixty-four percent of Independents back legalizing cannabis. Among those 45 or under, 66 percent support legalization. That percentage falls to 60 percent among those older than 45. There were no significant differences in the level of support for legalization among men and women, or among respondents of differing ethnicities.
