New York, NY: An estimated six in ten US adults believe that the home cultivation of cannabis for one’s personal use should be legally permissible, according to nationwide survey data compiled by Harris Polling on behalf of European cannabis company Royal Queen Seeds.
Among those respondents who consume cannabis, 81 percent support home cultivation rights. Sixty-two percent say that they would prefer to grow their own marijuana rather than buy it from retailers.
Of the 24 states that have legalized the adult-use marijuana market, only three states maintain criminal prohibitions on home cultivation.
NORML has long supported the rights of patients and others to grow personal use quantities of cannabis at home, arguing that the practice provides consumers with an affordable alternative to the retail marketplace.
