Three in four South Carolina Republican primary voters say they support legalizing medical marijuana, according to a new poll. The survey from Benchmark Research asked GOP voters in the state whether they favor “allowing patients who suffer from an approved list of conditions to have access to medical marijuana if approved by their doctor.” And as a Senate-passed medical cannabis bill heads to the House floor, the poll found that 76 percent of people who are registered to vote in the Republican primary election on June 14 back the reform. That’s compared to just 17 percent who oppose the policy change and eight percent who are unsure. The poll, which was first reported by FITSNews, also showed majority GOP support for medical marijuana legalization in seven major areas of the state, ranging from 67 percent in Augusta and Columbia to 91 percent in Savannah. The survey involved interviews with 350 South Carolina Republican primary voters from April 8-11 and has a margin of error of +/- 4.9 percentage points.
