The majority of Connecticut voters who took the latest Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday are in favor of legalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana for recreational use for adults.
Of the poll participants, 63 percent said adults should be allowed to have a small amount of pot "for personal use" and 34 disapproved, according to the poll.
Also, 67 percent of participants said that that they would approve of decreasing penalties for possessing small amounts of illegal drugs from a felony to a misdemeanor, according to the poll. Poll participants also favored taking away mandatory minimum sentences for possessing small amounts of illegal drugs 82 to 15 percent, which would allow it to be to judges' discretion depending on the case, according to the poll.
