Ipsos found 65 per cent of Canadians (29 per cent strongly/36 per cent somewhat) support the decriminalization of marijuana so that possession of small amounts would no longer carry a penalty or fine. Conversely, 35 per cent of people oppose (18 per cent strongly/17 per cent somewhat) decriminalization.
“It’s not an overly contentious issue and what I mean by contentious is, you’ve got certain people who really agree with it and groups who really oppose it,” Sean Simpson, vice president of Ipsos, said in an interview Wednesday.
“Doesn’t matter where you live in the country, a majority of every demographic group supports decriminalization.”
Ipsos has tracked support for decriminalization five times since 1987 and support since then has grown considerably from just 39 per cent to 65 per cent.
