A recent sociological study conducted among the US population, showed that the adoption of a law on the legalization of cannabis acts as a record number of Americans – 59%. In 2015 a similar survey among the population showed that only 51% of the population are ready to take that step in 2014 – 50%, in 2013 – 46%. In 2010, the rate of supporters of the legalization was only 26%.
