“...20 years of data...”?????

How long has pot been legal?

Sounds like mathmatical m*sturbations on a level only achievable by climate change idiots.

CA was the first to enact medical mj in 1997. Wouldn’t it be relevant to study the years prior to that for comparison?

Not really. It’s necessary to have a baseline of teen use before legalization in order to see what the effect was after legalization. And California’s law passed in 1996, so it’s almost 20 years old.

They are talking about medical marijuana. It’s been legal in Colorado for 14 years. Don’t know about other states.

Legal or illegal, people who want to use drugs, will.

Alcohol has been legally (again) killing people for almost 100 years. I wonder what percentage of people in the USA never use it.

Over 70% don’t smoke tobacco, the other killer, even though it’s legal. The news of the dangers has an effect over time. Once the dangers of pot can be better documented through studies, it’s use will go down also.

Since they’re talking about medical marijuana, in California it’s been almost 20 years, since 1996. Don’t know about other states.
