LOS ANGELES — Few people see legalized marijuana as a way to boost the economy and create jobs, according to an Associated Press-CNBC poll.

About a quarter of those polled said legalized pot would lead to more jobs in their communities; 57 percent said there would be no effect. About a third think the economy would improve, while 46 percent foresee no impact.

"I guess it could make money, but it would also cost money to prosecute people who get into trouble, like" driving under the influence, said Amanda Leonard, 37, of St. Augustine, Fla. "I think it would even itself out."

People under 30, the group most apt to favor legalization, were most likely to see pot as a way to help the economy.
