Polls Show Americans Overwhelmingly Support Legalizing Medical Pot

Columbus, OH:  More than two-thirds of an estimated 50,000 respondents support the use of medical marijuana, according to a study released this week by the Ohio Patient Network.  The study’s author compiled results from 66 separate scientific medical marijuana polls conducted since 1996.

The report found that 68 percent of Americans aggregately support the use of medicinal pot, and that only one-quarter oppose it.  The report also noted that public opinion toward the use of medical marijuana has grown significantly in recent years.
