Interesting study that seems to contradict others that have been posted on FR.

Legalizing pot does not appear to encourage teen use and might actually discourage it
Are you high?

This is a total pantload. Colorado shows that legalization leads to skyrocketing use among youth. Of COURSE it’s going to increase. It’s so obvious as to be stupid. This is just the pro doper leftist tool crowd propagating more nonsense.

What a novel idea.
Let’s legalize drunk driving - that’ll discourage DUI.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 1.4 million high school students between 1993 and 2017 ... Colorado legalized pot what? ... Two years ago? ... start with garbage data ... get garbage results.

Oh, I'm sure that's what will happen just look at how legalizing drugs for other segments of society has worked here and in other countries. What it shows is usage goes up not down, how else to explain the booming pot business?

I guess we should encourage pot promotion and commercials, since we can prove advertising discourages usage.

Wow, convincing proof.... that JAMA studies are sometimes total bulls-—.
To: luv2ski
That’s because the other studies on this topic posted here mostly have one thing in common, and that is that they come from advocacy groups.
In this case the psychology is very straightforward - remove the “forbidden fruit” status, and much of the temptation goes with it.
