Another survey finds widespread support among Illinois voters for legalizing and taxing marijuana. That poll from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute finds two-thirds of voters surveyed are in favor of allowing adults to use marijuana for recreational purposes… if pot is taxed and regulated just like alcohol.
32-percent were opposed… and only three-percent said they didn’t know or had no opinion.
Downstate voters support legalization, 58 to 40-percent. And while Democrats overwhelmingly support the idea, Republicans were evenly split.
