An additional 28 percent said just medical cannabis should be legal and 11 percent said that marijuana should remain completely criminalized, reported Marijuana Moment.
In addition, 74 percent of Black respondents said that people should be released from prison for marijuana-related offenses and have them expunged from their criminal records.
