“Is Wyoming ready to legalize marijuana?” Olsen said, later adding: “From my perspective it is only a matter of time before one of a few things happen.”
The UW survey found that 54% of Wyoming residents support allowing adults in Wyoming to legally possess marijuana for personal use. The study also found that 85% of Wyoming residents support medical use. 75% support decriminalizing marijuana.
Olsen also pointed recent Gallup polling released in Nov. 2020 which found that 68% of Americans overall support legalization of marijuana.
With support for legalization increasing, Olsen said that “many believe that legalization by ballot initiative in Wyoming [will be] viable as early as 2022.”
