Title: Despite Legalization, Adolescent Marijuana Use Hits 15-Year Low

Past-month cannabis consumption by 12-to-17-year-olds is down by more than 20 percent since 2002.

NSDUH

Survey data released today indicate that teenagers were less likely to smoke pot last year than at any point since 2002, despite the message supposedly sent by the relaxation of marijuana laws during that period.

In the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 6.5 percent of 12-to-17-year-olds reported using marijuana during the previous month, down from 8.2 percent in 2002. That 21-percent decline occurred during a period when 20 states and the District of Columbia legalized marijuana for medical use and eight states legalized it for recreational use. Adolescent cannabis consumption is even down since 2014, when state-licensed marijuana shops began serving recreational customers in Colorado and Washington. So far Attorney General Jeff Sessions' fear that legalization would make cannabis more appealing to teenagers has not been borne out.

By contrast, past-month marijuana use has been rising more or less steadily among 18-to-25-year-olds since 2006 and among adults 26 or older since 2011. Last year about 21 percent of the younger group and 7 percent of the older group reported past-month use. There is some evidence that marijuana is substituting for alcohol, since past-month drinking is down 8 percent among 18-to-25-year-olds since 2006 and 3 percent among Americans 26 or older since 2014.

"Critics of legalization worry about the message being sent to youth by marijuana policy reform efforts, but the real message is that marijuana should only be used by responsible adults, and it seems to be sinking in," says Morgan Fox, senior communications manager at the Marijuana Policy Project. "Regulating marijuana for adults reinforces that message and creates effective mechanisms for making it more difficult for teens to obtain marijuana. Marijuana is objectively less harmful than alcohol, and regulation gives adults the legal option to choose the safer substance." (2 images)

“We know from our research and that of others that heavy marijuana use is associated with poor academic performance and noncompletion of college,” said John Schulenberg, PhD,

It is a fact that you push for the legalization of harmful drugs.

Do you think pot, heroin and crack should be illegal? Or are you pushing for them to be legal?

Im right drug pusher and you are lying again.

You really have nothing to offer in a debate other than your repetitive lying about me. But go ahead - keep it up and keep looking like a 12 -year-old.

Do you think pot, heroin and crack should be illegal?

I believe that what we are doing now just isn't working. Other countries have legalized all drugs and with some good results.

It's insane to keep pushing the same policies and expecting different results.

Or are you pushing for them to be legal?

No. I post my opinions which you don't like, too bad.

You'd prefer the Duarte/Philippines approach - kill suspected drug dealers on sight.

So you don't deny you want heroin legal flooding our streets.

Guess what bozo murder is illegal and we still have murders.

Are you so fucking stupid that you think making drugs illegal will solve every problem

You have mental problems drug pusher/user.

That is not what I said and besides,we have that now, and your war on drugs has done NOTHING to stop it.

Oh, for Pete's sake - that tired old straw man again?

I don't push drugs and I don't use drugs.

No, I am saying it's something that needs to be considered.

Seems to me you'd rather see drug users killed than helped.

First off it is not my war on drugs mr drug pusher.

Secondly every arrest every seizure takes drugs off the street. Which inevitably saves lives.

Well what seems real to you isn't real. Probably the affects of drug use.

I will cheer everytime they arrest a meth, crack or heroin dealer.

Since I cheer for that and you are implying you don't.

Does that mean you get sad and angry when a heroin meth or crack dealer is taken off the street and arrested?
