PALM BEACH, Florida, July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary
There is growing national movement and increasing amount of opinions about marijuana legalization that appears to be changing rapidly. According to a Gallup report, Americans continue to warm to legalizing marijuana, with 64% now saying its use should be made legal. This is the highest level of public support Gallup has found for the proposal in nearly a half-century of measurement. Also, 2018 marked the first time that Gallup found a slim majority of Republicans (51 percent) supporting marijuana legalization. As a result, members of Congress have introduced several proposals to liberalize marijuana policy and passed a limit on the Department of Justice's discretion in enforcing federal marijuana laws. So far, medical and recreational marijuana have progressed through state popular initiatives and legislation. But Congress could sponsor incremental changes or even take marijuana off the schedule of nationally controlled substances - encouraging the lagging states to follow along.
