With less than a year to go before marijuana becomes legal in Canada, Manitobans are sharing their views on pot sales and usage.
Probe Research, in consultation with CTV Winnipeg, conducted an online survey of 1,032 Manitoba adults from
Aug. 8 to Aug. 20.
A slim majority of respondents (51 per cent) said they would be uncomfortable if bars sold edible marijuana, such as brownies and cookies, along with alcohol.
Adults aged 55 and up and supporters of the provincial PC party were most likely to strongly disagree with that notion.
Four in 10 respondents (42 per cent) would be comfortable with bars selling edible marijuana with alcohol.
Those most likely to be comfortable with this scenario were adults under the age of 35 and supporters of the provincial Liberal party.
Half of survey respondents (50 per cent) disagreed with the notion that alcohol-impaired driving is worse than marijuana-impaired driving.
Again, adults over the age of 55 and PC supporters were most likely to strongly view marijuana-impaired driving as the worse of the two scenarios.
One-third of respondents (34 per cent) felt that alcohol-impaired driving was worse than marijuana-impaired driving.
Most likely to view alcohol-impaired driving as worse were adults under the age of 35 and Liberal and NDP supporters.
