HONOLULU - The vast majority of Hawaii residents support legalizing marijuana, according to a public opinion poll released Tuesday by the Hawaii Cannabis Industry Association (HICIA).
The poll showed that 86% of Hawaii residents who participated in the survey believe cannabis should be legal. Results show recreational cannabis use is favored (45%) over medical use-only policies (41%) among residents.
The association's president says, with over $81 million in tax potential and overwhelming support in the islands, it's almost a no-brainer for Hawaii to follow the 21 other states that have legalized marijuana for personal adult use.
The association surveyed over 600 adult Hawaii residents in December.
