As more states pass laws legalizing marijuana for recreational use, Americans continue to favor legalization of both medical and recreational use of the drug.
An overwhelming share of U.S. adults (88%) say marijuana should be legal for medical or recreational use.
Nearly six-in-ten Americans (57%) say that marijuana should be legal for medical and recreational purposes, while roughly a third (32%) say that marijuana should be legal for medical use only.
Just 11% of Americans say that the drug should not be legal at all.
