Harvard-Harris Poll Shows Majority of Americans Support Marijuana Legalization

A recent Harvard-Harris online poll asked over 2,000 American citizens about their stance on the legal status of marijuana. 49% of the surveyed group believes that marijuana should be made legal for recreational use, while only 37% voiced their support for legal medicinal marijuana. Only 14% of these people believe that there should be no form of legal marijuana allowed.

Though many people in this study have voice their support for legal marijuana, 60% of them also believe that crime is rising in the United States and that drugs are the main reason. Almost 90% of the respondents agreed that drug abuse was a major issue in this country, but more than half of these respondents also agreed that legalizing marijuana would help to make our society better, as a whole. Many people do not see marijuana as one of the drugs that is causing serious problems throughout the United States and, in turn, believe that legalizing the drug would have a positive impact on the country.

If you have been charged with a drug related offense, call Frank T. Luciano. He has almost 40 years of experience in cases of this type. He is also a lifetime member of the legal committee for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL).

From a former client
"At the time, I was mortified because, having only worked against you in the Prosecutor’s Office, I couldn’t picture being on the same side. Frank, I want to thank you for the pleasure of having worked with you over the past years. I have learned a great deal from you. Most importantly, I learned that cases were not always as black and white as I thought they were when I worked for the Prosecutor’s Office. You are a wonderful attorney who not only works hard, but also cares deeply about his clients. Frank, I think you are the best."

From an adversary in a case where we ultimately returned a verdict of $2,069,000
"In my distraction focusing on my . . . trial, I failed to ask you how things went with . . . I watched and learned from you throughout that case and greatly admire the consummsate attorney that I hoped to emulate. I witnessed how very hard you worked and how you left no stone unturned. I hope the case worked out for you and your clients. If it did not (and I hope it did) it was not for lack of the effect on your part which was humbling."
