The findings don’t mean that the loosening of marijuana laws are the reason behind the drop in marijuana dependence and behavioral/personal issues. But they do suggest that other factors – including broader behavioral and mental health trends – have a much broader effect on teen marijuana use than laws and attitudes towards pot.
Last year, a study published in Lancet Psychiatry found that legalizing medical marijuana had no effect on teen marijuana use at the state level. Other large surveys of adolescents have found that marijuana use among kids has been flat. And state-level federal survey data shows teen marijuana use has remained about the same, even in states where it has been legalized for adults.
