Medical Marijuana Legalization Gets Strong Support in Florida

A poll from St. Leo University released on Wednesday finds strong support for legalizing medical marijuana in the Sunshine State. Floridians will vote on a proposed state Constitution amendment in November to legalize medical marijuana. If it garners 60 percent, the proposed amendment will pass.

The poll finds 75 percent of those surveyed favor legalizing medical marijuana with 30 percent of the total surveyed backing across-the-board legalization. Only 19 percent say they think marijuana should remain illegal under all circumstances.

The poll of 500 voters, was taken from March 16-19 and had a margin of error of +/- 5 percent.
