More than half of Atlantic Canadians support legalizing marijuana for personal use, according to a Corporate Research Associates (CRA) poll released Wednesday.
CRA surveyed 1,502 Atlantic Canadians between Nov. 7 and Dec 1., and found that for the first time since tracking began in 2012, 53 per cent support the legalization.
That’s up from 49 per cent in November 2015. Forty-one per cent of those surveyed oppose legalization for personal use.
The federal government announced more steps Tuesday in its process to legalize marijuana, including establishing that marijuana should be sold in separate stores and that pot should be available for sale to those 18 or older.
The Task Force on Cannabis Legalization and Regulation was tasked in June to make recommendations on how marijuana should be produced, sold and regulated in Canada once it’s legal.
