Colorado doesn’t regret legalization:
Two months after legal marijuana sales began in Colorado, its legalization has become more popular in the state. 57% of Colorado voters now say they think marijuana usage should be legal to only 35% who think it should be illegal. That 22 point margin in support represents an increase since the November 2012 legalization ballot measure that passed by 10 points with voters in the state.
Jon Walker adds his two cents:
The results are very similar to the Quinnipiac poll from February which also found support for legalization edging up since implementation. It would seem that once voters get a firsthand experience with legalization and realize the sky hasn’t fallen they become more supportive.
