The Louisiana State University (LSU) survey revealed a “substantial increase over the past decade in support of legalizing marijuana for recreational use,” with 70 percent of respondents saying they favor ending prohibition for those in possession” small amounts” of cannabis.
Ten years ago in 2013, only 42% of Louisiana residents said they supported legalization.
“Support for legal possession of marijuana for medical purposes remains high at 90 percent,” the poll also found, which involved interviews with 500 Louisiana adults from March 22 to April 4. The margin of error for the survey was +/- 5.8 percentage points.
Despite these achievements, legalization continues to be blocked in the Louisiana state legislature.
Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) signed a cannabis decriminalization bill into law in 2021, making possession of up to 14 grams of marijuana punishable by a $100 fine, but broader reform failed to get approval .
