关于国家医用大麻法律(MML)的通过与青少年获得和使用大麻之间的正相关关系，研究结果并不一致。我们使用了一种新的分析方法来研究这个问题，使用了1997-2013年密歇根州青少年危险行为监测系统(YRBSS)的多年数据。在控制了密歇根州MML通过之前大麻使用量的历史下降趋势后，我们发现，在州MML通过后，青少年中大麻的使用量有所增加。研究结果表明，随着拥有允许使用大麻的法律的州的数量增加，有必要考虑青少年使用大麻的风险增加。
Research findings are inconsistent regarding a positive association between the passage of state medical marijuana laws (MML) and adolescent access and use marijuana. We utilized a novel analytical approach to examine this issue with multi-year data from the 1997–2013 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) of the State of Michigan. After controlling for the historically declining trend in marijuana use prior to the passages of MML in Michigan, we found that marijuana use among adolescents had increased subsequent to the passage of state MML. Study findings suggest the need for considering the increased risk of marijuana use among adolescents as the number of states with laws permitting marijuana use is increasing.
