Half of Americans continue to support legalizing recreational marijuana

截至上个月的选举,又有四个州投票赞成将用于医疗和休闲用途的大麻合法化,使总数达到8个使休闲大麻合法化的州(包括华盛顿特区在内的9个州)。


哈里斯民意调查(Harris Poll)本月重新审视了大麻合法化的话题,发现即使有更多的州加入大麻合法化运动,自2015年XNUMX月以来,美国人的情绪在很大程度上仍保持不变。

最近的民意调查显示,十分之八的成年人支持将大麻合法化用于医疗(8%,10年; 82%,2016年),而一半的美国人则支持将大麻合法化用于娱乐用途(分别为81%; 2015%)。 五分之二的成年人中(50%)反对将大麻合法化用于娱乐用途,特别是49岁及2岁以上的成年人(5%反对)。

这些是2,054年18月8日至12日在网上对2016名XNUMX岁以上美国成年人进行的哈里斯民意调查的一些结果。

决定,决定

Whether or not you believe marijuana should be legalized for any reason, there is a larger question also at hand: who should decide whether or not to legalize the substance, the federal government on behalf of all states or state governments each for themselves? Just over a third of adults feel the decision should be made at the federal level (35% in 2016 and 2015), but the number who favor the states retaining the right to make this decision has increased from 44% in 2015 to 48% now.

ch-ch-ch-changes

如果要使大麻合法化,它所带来的影响将远远超出合法性的简单改变。 十分之七的成年人认为合法化的大麻将增加税收(71%),使用的大麻数量(71%)和使用大麻的人数(69%)。 同时,大约十分之六的人预计休闲大麻的使用合法的州的旅游业将会增加(64%),大麻使用的一致性/标准化程度会更高(57%)。

饮酒的影响

When it comes to the potential impact of marijuana legalization on alcohol consumption, most regular drinkers (adults ages 21+ who drink alcohol at least several times a year), say that marijuana legalization would not impact their personal consumption of alcoholic beverages. 81% of regular beer and spirit drinkers and 85% of regular wine drinkers say that legalization of marijuana would not impact, or has not impacted (for those states where it has already been legalized), their consumption of alcohol. Of the balance, more say they will decrease their alcohol consumption than say they will increase their consumption.

但是,根据尼尔森饮料酒精业务高级副总裁丹尼·布拉格(Danny Brager)的说法,“非常值得注意的是,不同年龄段,收入群体和性别的一些消费者群体做出的反应要多得多,他们的酒精消耗量可能会受到影响。通过大麻合法化。 在某种程度上,这些消费人群对于每种成人饮料类别都非常重要,大麻合法化可能对酒精消费产生一些不利影响。”
