Interestingly, when various pros and cons of full decriminalization was explained to those contributing to the poll, support dipped down to 77%. Not a huge dip, but telling in the sense that some may not be as progressive in their thinking towards drugs as they think.
The poll has a margin of error of +/-4.9%, and were done over the telephone or online with 402 likely voters this November, conducted between June 30 and July 8 of this year.
