尽管政策制定者和执法官员认为医用大麻法律（MMLs）向年轻人“传递了错误的信息”，但之前的研究并没有证据表明MMLs和青少年吸食大麻之间存在因果关系。使用来自全国和州青少年危险行为调查、1997年全国青少年纵向调查和治疗事件数据集的数据，我们重新审视了这种关系。我们的研究结果与医用大麻合法化导致青少年吸食大麻增加的假设不一致。
Although policymakers and law enforcement officials argue that medical marijuana laws (MMLs) "send the wrong message" to young people, previous studies have produced no evidence of a causal relationship between MMLs and marijuana use among teens. Using data from the national and state Youth Risk Behavior Surveys, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, and the Treatment Episode Data Set, we revisit this relationship. Our results are not consistent with the hypothesis that legalization of medical marijuana leads to increased marijuana use among teenagers.
