Legalization may have reduced the stigma associated with marijuana use in teens, a new study reports.
A new study reports that more adults over the age of 50 are using cannabis than ever before and the rate of use in this age group is outpacing all other age groups. The paper considers changing attitudes based on law and health needs for the growth in use.
Since the legalization of marijuana in Washington, the use of the substance has dropped significantly in teenagers. However, in teens who work 11 or more hours a week, cannabis use has increased.
Marijuana use rates are increasing in college students in states where recreational use has been legalized. Following cannabis legalization, binge drinking rates between the cohort group fell significantly.
