Poll: 56 percent of Arizonans support legalized marijuana

May 15, 2013, 4:43 PM

When it comes to marijuana, more than half of Arizonans said they are fine with people lighting up.

According to the Behavior Research Center, 56 percent of Arizonans would support a law that permits people to have a small amount of marijuana for personal use.

While more men supported the idea more than women, a broad range of people support the defelonization of marijuana possession.

Fewer conservatives support legalized marijuana, but that was offset by people who identify with other political ideals.

We want to hear from you.
