Fifty-eight percent of Americans say marijuana should legalized, regulated and taxed, according to a new poll.
The Economist/YouGov survey of 1,000 was taken Feb. 5-8. The margin of error was 4.2 percent.
Last month people want to make pot legal in Washington announced they will try to get a statewide initiative before voters. A similar effort last year sputtered when organizers failed to get enough signatures. This year’s attempt includes a new provision that would require the state Legislature to adopt civil regulations on marijuana use, sales and possibly taxation.
To qualify for the November ballot, initiative sponsors need to get the signatures of more than 241,000 registered voters by July 8. Last year they fell short by about 50,000 signatures.
Last year California voters rejected Proposition 19, which would’ve legalized marijuana in the Golden State, by a 54 percent to 46 percent vote.
