Contributing sentiments towards policy:
54% : This is due to the curious legal status of marijuana as a federally prohibited controlled substance but a legal and highly sought-after commodity under the laws of most U.S. states."52% : According to a report by the Marijuana Policy Project released in December, recreational legalization of cannabis in Colorado and Washington has generated more than $10 billion in tax revenue.
49% : But as a report published Feb. 25 in the National Law Review observed, momentum for meaningful change on the federal level remains, and perhaps 2022 will at last be the year in which federal law legalizes regulation and taxation of marijuana.
34% : Marijuana remains an illegal (Schedule 1) drug under federal law.
