Poll: Hawaii Voters Open to Legalizing Marijuana

By /

Excerpts from a press release put out by the ACLU:

Respected local polling firm QMark Research was commissioned to conduct a statewide, statistically significant poll of 600 Hawaii voters. The poll occurred between November 19 and December 4, 2012. Among its findings:

·      78% support a dispensary system for medical marijuana.
·      69% think that jail time for marijuana offenses is inappropriate. 
·      57% favor legalized, taxed and regulated marijuana, 20% higher than the last poll conducted in 2005.
Stay tuned. Full story to come.
