This isn’t a conservative vs liberal issue. It has support within both parties. This is a old vs young issue, with those under 45 supporting legalization and older Americans against it
- martinpw 8y agoIt seems like both political leaning and age are about equally significant: https://news.gallup.com/poll/243908/two-three-americans-support-legalizing-marijuana.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/243908/two-three-americans-supp... Support levels (October 2018): Democrats: 75% Republicans: 53% Under 35: 78% Over 55: 59% Also note that now even older Americans are majority in support.

- learc83 8y agoThe conservative party in America--Republicans--tends to skew much older, so I'd say that makes it defacto liberal vs conservative to some extent.
