If you thought that Quebeckers' hedonism would make them strong supporters of the legalization of marijuana, the findings from a recent survey by polling firm CROP for Radio-Canada may surprise you.
Quebecers are far less optimistic about the legalization of marijuana than their counterparts in the rest of Canada.
Only 41 per cent of Quebecers said they were in strongly or somewhat in favour of legalization, compared to 57 per cent of other Canadians.
For nearly every promised benefit of legalization, from the reduction of the black market to less stress on the justice system, people in Quebec were more skeptical than their counterparts elsewhere in the country.
The survey interviewed 2,536 adult Canadians, 1,017 in Quebec and the rest in other provinces.
