我们使用零售扫描仪的高热量食物购买数据来研究娱乐性大麻法律（RMLs）与高热量食物消费之间的因果关系。为了做到这一点，我们利用各州在引入娱乐性大麻法律的时间上的差异，发现它们是互补的。具体来说，在RML州的各县，高热量食品的月销售额在使用我们的首选识别策略时增加了3.2%，在使用我们的首选识别策略时增加了4.5%。结果是稳健的，包括安慰剂有效日期的rml在治疗状态和产品，以及当使用合成对照方法作为替代方法。(c) 2020 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
We use retail scanner data on purchases of high calorie food to study the causal relationship between recreational marijuana laws (RMLs) and consumption of high calorie food. To do this we exploit differences in the timing of introduction of recreational marijuana laws among states and find that they are complements. Specifically, in counties located in RML states monthly sales of high calorie food increased by 3.2 percent when measured by sales and 4.5 percent when measured by volume when using our preferred identification strategy. Results are robust to including placebo effective dates for RMLs in treated states and products as well as when using Synthetic Control Methods as an alternative methodology. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
