Surprised?
With the legalization of smoking cannabis both for medical and recreational use, it’s clear marijuana’s time has come.
The jury is no longer out. States have been weighing in. And the answer has been a resounding : “Yes”.
Nearly half of U.S. adults have tried marijuana. A massive shift that took place over just a few years.
In the span of two decades, marijuana legalization has gone from a fringe issue to one the vast majority of Americans embrace.
In 2000, just 31 percent of the country backed legalization while 64 percent opposed it, according to Gallup’s public surveys.
By 2020, the numbers flipped: The most recent Gallup poll on the topic showed that 68 percent supported legalization and 32 percent were against it.
There’s hope on the horizon.
The UN now says medical weed is a less dangerous drug.
Even though it’s a long way from legalization, there’s hope on the horizon.
A United Nations commission has voted to reclassify cannabis as a less dangerous drug, acknowledging the plant’s medical value and paving the way for further therapeutic use of the drug internationally.
