WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - When it comes to the sale of recreational marijuana in Lewis County, residents are split down the middle.
Nearly 43 percent support it and 43 percent oppose it. But what if farmers could grow pot?
“People are way more saying ‘yeah we support that,’” Joel LaLone said. “That was interesting to see.”
LaLone is research director at Jefferson Community College’s Center for Community Studies. The center’s 50 students conducted the 2020 Lewis County survey virtually.
