Americans consider marijuana consumption more morally acceptable than gay relationships, medical testing of animals, the death penalty and abortion, according to a new survey from Gallup.
The poll released on Tuesday shows a continuation of the growing acceptance of cannabis use among Americans as more states opt to legalize marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. Seven-out-of-ten respondents said using cannabis is morally acceptable. Only 28 percent said the activity is morally unacceptable.
That’s a notable bump compared to 2018, when 65 percent of those surveyed by Gallup said cannabis consumption is OK.
Other activities that Americans view as less morally acceptable than smoking marijuana include wearing clothes made of animals furs (54 percent), sex between teenagers (38 percent), pornography (36 percent) and human cloning (12 percent).
