Poll: 57% of New Jerseyans smell marijuana in public, most OK with it
More than one year after the legalization of recreational marijuana, New Jersey residents say the smell of weed has permeated public spaces and even their homes, according to a Stockton University Poll released today.
But few said they are bothered by the smell and most seem reluctant to criticize others for using legal weed, the findings show.
A majority of 57% of New Jersey adults reported smelling marijuana in public spaces often (28%) or sometimes (29%). One-third (32%) smell cannabis rarely, and only 9% said they have never smelled weed in public settings.
