90% of Kentucky Wants Medical Marijuana, Just Like the Rest of America
by Randy Robinson | news | Feb 6, 2020
A new poll revealed that the Bluegrass State is ready for medicinal grass.
An overwhelming majority — or 9 out of 10 — Kentuckians want legal access to medical marijuana in their state, a new poll shows.
The poll, conducted by the non-profit organizations Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky and Interact for Health, randomly surveyed 1,559 adults by phone from October to December 2019. Ironically, both organizations actively support and promote smoke-free policies in the Bluegrass State.
The 90 percent figure suggests Kentucky residents have dramatically shifted their perspective on medical cannabis in less than a decade. A similar survey from 2012 found that 76 percent of Kentuckians supported medical weed just eight years ago. Support for recreational weed jumped between 2012 and 2019, as well, from 26 percent to 49 percent, according to the same surveys.
"Very seldom do you see any poll at 90 percent and here, in Kentucky, we're seeing 90 percent support for medical marijuana," Ben Chandler, Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky’s CEO, told a local NBC News affiliate. "The jump was tremendous, and it doesn't really surprise me because, anecdotally, I've known in the last several years that there's been so much talk about it, and that public opinion has been shifting."
