Most New Yorkers support Cuomo medical marijuana pilot plan: poll
NEW YORK Mon Jan 20, 2014 5:32am EST
(Reuters) - Most New Yorkers support Governor Andrew Cuomo's plan to allow the use of medical marijuana in a pilot program in up to 20 hospitals, according to a poll released on Monday.
Nearly half (49 percent) of the New York voters polled thought he should skip the pilot step entirely and legalize its medical use statewide, as has already happened in about 20 other states, the Siena College Poll said.
A total of 28 percent of New Yorkers said the pilot program was the way to go.
A slim majority of 54 percent, however, oppose following the lead of the states of Colorado and Washington and legalizing marijuana for recreational use; 41 percent supported such a move.
