MASON-DIXON POLL ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA JUNE 2005

A random sample of 732 registered voters nationwide was interviewed by telephone June 8-11, 2005 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C.  Margin for error is plus or minus 3.7%. The survey was commissioned by the Marijuana Policy Project.

  65% of Americans say adults should be allowed to use marijuana for medical purposes if their doctor recommends it; only one in five says it should be illegal.  

QUESTION: Do you think adults should be allowed to legally use marijuana for medical purposes if their doctor recommends it, or do you think that marijuana should remain illegal even for medical purposes?  

LLEGAL 65%
ILLEGAL 20%
UNDECIDED 15%

I was hoping that independent and impartial group, the Soros-sponsored Marijuana Policy Project, would have phrased the question differently. Something like:

QUESTION: Do you think adults should be allowed to grow and smoke marijuana for medical purposes if they visit a certain doctor complaining of some kind of pain and that doctor recommends it, or do you think they should be thrown out of the doctor's office and told to go out and find a job?
