Abstract

Abstract This research aims to enhance our understanding of the relationship between racial prejudice and White Americans’ views on cannabis legalization. The recent legalization of recreational cannabis in a handful of states, along with many other states legalizing medical cannabis in recent years, has catapulted the flowering plant back into the spotlight and nightly news cycles. Given the historically racist propaganda used to criminalize the plant, it follows that Whites’ support for legalization may be associated with racial prejudice. Using data from the General Social Survey data from 1972–2018, we find that different forms of racial prejudice have a negative effect on Whites’ support for cannabis legalization generally. Additionally, as the negative effect of overt, old-fashioned racism diminishes over time and across birth cohorts it is supplanted by the more subtle laissez-faire racism. In conclusion, we discuss the implication of the relationship between racial prejudice and views on marijuana for the increasingly complicated racial dynamics surrounding cannabis legalization.

摘要本研究旨在加深我们对种族偏见与美国白人对大麻合法化看法之间关系的理解。近年来，少数几个州的娱乐性大麻合法化，以及其他许多州的医用大麻合法化使这种开花植物重新成为人们关注的焦点和晚间新闻周期。鉴于历史上用于将该工厂定为犯罪的种族主义宣传，白人对合法化的支持可能与种族偏见有关。使用1972年至2018年的综合社会调查数据，我们发现不同形式的种族偏见对白人普遍支持大麻合法化有负面影响。此外，随着公开的、老式的种族主义的负面影响随着时间的推移和出生群体的减少，它被更微妙的自由放任的种族主义所取代。最后，我们讨论了种族偏见和对大麻的看法之间的关系对大麻合法化日益复杂的种族动态的影响。
