New Jersey residents are more likely to support legalizing recreational marijuana if they are convinced its proceeds would be used to lower their property taxes, according to a new poll.
A little less than half polled -- 44 percent -- said they support recreational marijuana for adults, as compared to 31 percent who opposed, according to a private survey obtained by NJ Advance Media that was conducted for Nuka Enterprises, a company that makes marijuana-based food products.
But when New Jerseyans were asked about recreational marijuana and if they would support it if it could help ease their local taxes, a majority -- 53 percent -- said they'd support legal weed, according to the poll. Only 24 percent still opposed the measure.
