Nine In Ten Texas Voters Support Legalizing Marijuana In Some Form, Poll Finds

Nearly nine out of ten Texas voters say marijuana should be legal in some form, with just 13 percent still backing prohibition, according to a new poll.

The survey, released on Friday by the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune, gave respondents four cannabis policy options to choose from: possession should be legal for any amount and any purpose, possession of small amounts should be legal for any purpose, marijuana should be legal for medical use only and possession should not be legal “under any circumstances.”

A collective 60 percent said they support legalizing cannabis for any purpose, with those voters split about evenly on whether there should be possession limits. Twenty-seven percent said marijuana should only be legally possessed for medical use.
