Record number support pot legalization

Business Insider - A record 61% of Americans say pot should be legalized, according to the respected General Social Survey (GSS). The poll, which has tracked support for legal marijuana since 1973, found that approval reached an all-time high across all age groups, US regions, and political affiliations in 2018. 

The numbers reflect how attitudes towards the drug are shifting across the nation. While the majority of Americans want the legalization of cannabis now, only 16% did in 1987 and 1990, the years with the joint-lowest support.

Ten states, including California, Colorado, Michigan, have legalized the use of recreational marijuana, and 33 states allow its medical use.
