You read that right, marijuana. Well, at least that’s what a new study by Consumer Research Around Cannabis says of opinions about pot among adults in Denver and Colorado Springs.

As BizWest reported last week, the survey found Colorado Springs’ perspective on marijuana – the Springs being, arguably, among the most conservative cities in the country – aligned fairly closely with reliably liberal Denver.

Take it from BizWest’s Jensen Werley:

While Colorado Springs identifies as more conservative – 39 percent, with 20 percent identifying as liberal and 41 percent as independent – people there have usage opinions very similar to the more liberal Denver, where 30 percent of residents identify as liberal, 31 percent conservative and 39 percent independent.

Predictably, slightly more adults approve of marijuana in Denver than Colorado Springs, 58 to 52 percent. But, when analyzed under the scope of political affiliation, the numbers are very similar between the two cities.

Additionally, the reasons for marijuana usage were also comparable, with one of the top reasons for using pot being sleep – 23 percent in Denver to 17.5 percent in Colorado Springs. Insomnia be damned.

Despite the similarities in the survey, glaring differences persist in policy between the two cities, including the fact Colorado Springs has yet to allow retail marijuana dispensaries in city limits five years after legalization. Denver leads the state in dispensaries.
