The study, which surveyed 1,200 Texas adults, found that more than 70% of Texans support the legalization of “destination resort casinos” in the state and more than 60% support the sale and use of marijuana for recreational purposes.
A new poll from the University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs found broad support among Texans for legalizing recreational marijuana and gambling.
The study, which surveyed 1,200 Texas adults and had a 2.38% margin of error, found that more than 70% of Texas residents support the legalization of “destination resort casinos” in the state. More than 60% support the sale and use of marijuana for recreational purposes.
Marijuana and THC legalization
In 2019, House Bill 1325 was passed by the state legislature, which allowed hemp to be grown at an industrial scale as long as it contained less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Some quickly exploited this law to begin selling THC cannabis products.
The recent study by UH asked participants a variety of questions regarding both marijuana and THC products. While most people were in favor of legalizing marijuana, the majority were also in favor of banning the unregulated sale of THC products currently on the market due to the HB 1325 loophole.
