    CBS_News
    A CBS News poll from April 2015 found increasing support for legalizing marijuana use. 53% of respondents thought marijuana should be legal, up from 51% in February 2014. Support was highest among Democrats at 60% and independents at 51%. 84% thought doctors should be allowed to prescribe small amounts of marijuana for serious illnesses. Most respondents (58%) thought laws on marijuana should be determined by state rather than federal governments. While 12% saw marijuana as more harmful than alcohol, 51% saw alcohol as more harmful, and 28% viewed both as equally harmful. A candidate's past marijuana use would not affect the vote of 75% of respondents. 43% had tried marijuana.
