A big group of people called Pew Research Center asked many Americans about their thoughts on a plant called cannabis, which some people use as medicine and others use to feel relaxed. Most of them said that they think it should be legal for everyone to use it in different ways. They believe it's good for the economy and fair for the people who get in trouble for using it.

- The headline is misleading and sensationalized. It implies that 9 out of 10 Americans support some form of legal cannabis, but the actual data shows only about 1 in 10 U.S. adults say marijuana should be illegal. This means that around 65% of Americans either support medical or recreational use, not necessarily both. A more accurate headline would be "Majority Of Americans Support Some Form Of Legal Cannabis, Pew Research Center Finds".
- The article does not provide any context or background information on the survey methodology, sample size, margin of error, or the time frame of the data collection. This makes it hard for readers to evaluate the credibility and reliability of the findings. A good practice would be to cite the source of the data and link to it, as well as explain how the questions were asked and who responded.
- The article uses vague and ambiguous terms like "recreational use" and "medical purposes". These terms do not clearly define what constitutes as recreational or medical cannabis, and may vary depending on the state laws and personal opinions. A more precise language would be to specify the types and amounts of cannabis products that are legal or illegal in different states, and how they differ from each other.
- The article presents some reasons for supporting the legalization of recreational cannabis, but does not mention any counterarguments or opposing views. This creates a one-sided and biased perspective on the issue, and may not reflect the diversity of opinions among Americans. A balanced article would also include some of the potential harms or risks associated with cannabis use, such as health effects, addiction, crime, impaired driving, etc.
