Americans think marijuana poses less threat than alcohol or tobacco

Americans think marijuana poses less threat than alcohol or tobaccoWashington, Jan 8 – A new survey suggests that Americans do not consider marijuana as dangerous as other legal substances like alcohol and tobacco.

The do not consider it as wicked as other illegal drugs like heroin and cocaine, CNN reported.

That’s one reason why a CNN/ORC International survey indicates that support for legalizing marijuana is soaring, and why that same support does not extend to hard drugs.

A CNN/ORC poll released Monday showed that 55 percent of all Americans think that the use of marijuana should be legal – a solid majority and more than triple the 16 percent who said the same thing a quarter century ago.
