Several polls have shown most Ohioans favor legalizing marijuana for medical use, but a new survey indicates there’s enough support to make medicinal marijuana a constitutional right.
Nearly three out of four Ohioans said access to marijuana for certain medical conditions should be a constitutional right, according to a Public Policy Polling survey released Monday. The survey was commissioned by national group Marijuana Policy Project, which plans to put a medical-only amendment on the November ballot in Ohio.
Specifically, the poll asked if voters favor or oppose “making it a constitutional right for patients with terminal or debilitating medical conditions to possess and consume marijuana if their doctors recommend it.” The poll did not ask about specific amendment language, which has not been publicly released. Public Policy Polling surveyed 672 Ohio voters Feb. 17-18. The poll has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.
