Buds on the Ballot: Polling indicates that Americans’ support for legal pot only continues to grow

In two weeks, voters in five states, four of them very conservative, will decide whether to legalize weed. If all five measures pass, we will be just one state short of half the country having legal, adult-use pot. Population-wise, it would be over half (thanks in part to Washington, DC and two territories also being legal). Accounting for medical marijuana, pot is already legal in one form or another for almost the entire country.

In the meantime, polling indicates that Americans’ support for legal pot only continues to grow. Two-thirds of the country now wants pot to be legal for all adults. And President Joe Biden, who had been a lifelong drug warrior, has now begun to move on decriminalization.

Mitch McConnell and the other Republicans who like to use weed as a political cudgel—usually to paint Democrats as flighty airheads—will likely keep up that strategy for as long as they can. But at this point, federal legalization seems inevitable, especially given that a fair number of Republicans are pro-legalization. It’s only a question of when.
