When asked another question, “Do you favor or oppose the Commonwealth of Kentucky allowing residents to buy and use marijuana under any circumstances?” 38% of respondents said that they’re in favor of such a move, including being supported by a majority – 51% – of those aged 18-29. All those aged 65 and older weighed in opposition of the move at the greatest, with only 21% in support.

The release of this study comes just weeks after Kentucky legalized hemp on the state level, causing advocates to begin lobbying for further reform like bringing medical marijuana to the state.
