Kufikia uchaguzi wa mwezi uliopita, majimbo mengine manne yalipiga kura kuhalalisha bangi kwa matumizi ya matibabu na burudani, ikileta jumla kubwa kwa majimbo 8 ambayo yamehalalisha bangi ya burudani (9, pamoja na Washington DC).
Kura ya Harris ilipitia tena mada ya bangi iliyohalalishwa mwezi huu na kugundua kuwa, hata na majimbo mengi yanayojiunga na harakati ya kuhalalisha, maoni ya Amerika yamebaki vile vile tangu ilipoonekana mnamo Februari 2015.
Kura ya hivi karibuni ilifunua kwamba karibu watu wazima 8 kati ya 10 wanaunga mkono kuhalalishwa kwa bangi kwa matibabu (82% 2016; 81% 2015), wakati nusu ya Wamarekani wanaunga mkono kuhalalisha bangi kwa matumizi ya burudani (50%; 49% mtawaliwa). Zaidi ya watu wazima 2 kati ya 5 (42%) wanapinga kuhalalishwa kwa bangi kwa matumizi ya burudani, haswa wale wa miaka 65 na zaidi (56% wanapinga).
Haya ni baadhi ya matokeo ya Kura ya Harris ya watu wazima 2,054 wa Amerika wenye umri wa miaka 18+ waliofanyiwa utafiti mtandaoni kati ya Desemba 8 na 12, 2016.
Maamuzi, maamuzi
Whether or not you believe marijuana should be legalized for any reason, there is a larger question also at hand: who should decide whether or not to legalize the substance, the federal government on behalf of all states or state governments each for themselves? Just over a third of adults feel the decision should be made at the federal level (35% in 2016 and 2015), but the number who favor the states retaining the right to make this decision has increased from 44% in 2015 to 48% now.
Ch-ch-ch-mabadiliko
Ikiwa bangi ingehalalishwa, ina uwezo wa kuwa na athari zaidi ya mabadiliko rahisi ya uhalali. Karibu watu wazima saba kati ya kumi wanaamini kuwa bangi iliyohalalishwa itasababisha kuongezeka kwa mapato ya ushuru (71%), kiwango cha bangi iliyotumiwa (71%), na idadi ya watumiaji wa bangi (69%). Wakati huo huo, karibu sita kati ya kumi wanatarajia kuongezeka kwa utalii kwa majimbo ambapo matumizi ya bangi ya burudani ni halali (64%) na uthabiti / usanifishaji mkubwa wa bangi iliyotumiwa (57%).
Athari za unywaji pombe
When it comes to the potential impact of marijuana legalization on alcohol consumption, most regular drinkers (adults ages 21+ who drink alcohol at least several times a year), say that marijuana legalization would not impact their personal consumption of alcoholic beverages. 81% of regular beer and spirit drinkers and 85% of regular wine drinkers say that legalization of marijuana would not impact, or has not impacted (for those states where it has already been legalized), their consumption of alcohol. Of the balance, more say they will decrease their alcohol consumption than say they will increase their consumption.
Walakini, kulingana na Danny Brager, SVP ya Mazoezi ya Pombe ya Pombe ya Nielsen, "Inafahamika sana kwamba mifuko kadhaa ya watumiaji - kwa vikundi anuwai vya vikundi, vikundi vya mapato, na jinsia - walijibu kwa idadi kubwa zaidi kwamba unywaji wao wa pombe unaweza kuathiriwa. kuhalalisha bangi. Kwa kadiri ambavyo idadi ya watumiaji hawa ni muhimu sana kwa kila jamii ya kinywaji cha watu wazima, kuhalalisha bangi kunaweza kuwa na athari mbaya kwa unywaji pombe. ”
