HHS - Biden's Reelection Hopes Boosted By Youth Support For Weed Reform | Benzinga
Recent efforts to relax federal marijuana restrictions have garnered significant support from a majority of Americans, a recently conducted nationwide poll revealed. The results seem to be in line with a recent Gallup poll showing that seven in ten Americans think marijuana use should be legal.
Fifty-eight percent of voters said they favor rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act – a move Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommended to the DEA according to a recently released 252 pages of documents related to HHS review of cannabis.
More importantly, the youngest voters aged 18-25, a demographic crucial to President Biden‘s chances of securing re-election, showed the strongest support, as first reported by Politico.
The poll was conducted by Lake Research Partners and commissioned by the Coalition for Cannabis Scheduling Reform (CCSR).
