New Poll Finds Higher Education Linked to Higher Support for Cannabis Legalization
A new Reason-Rupe poll released just hours ago has found that the higher someone’s education, the more likely they are to support cannabis legalization
, regardless of that person’s ideology.
According to the poll, 46% of Americans with a high school education or less are in support of cannabis legalization. However, of those with a college degree, 54% are in support of legalization. For those with a post-graduate degree, support is at 57%.
The poll found that among all Americans, more are in support of legalization than those against, 49% to 47%.
In October, a Gallup poll also found high support for the legalization of recreational cannabis. According to that poll, 58% of Americans support legalization.
A study released in July by Ireland’s National Advisory Committee on Drugs and Alcohol found that, similar to support for cannabis legalization in the new Reason-Rupe poll, cannabis consumption is higher among those with higher educations.
