In Pennsylvania, a new study reveals a decrease in youth admissions to treatment centers over cannabis use disorder following the advancement of marijuana legalization. The research, conducted by Temple University in Philadelphia, was published last month in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, and found that adolescent treatment admission rates for cannabis problems dropped between 2008 and 2017. The decline was prevalent nationwide, including in Colorado and Washington state, which both legalized recreational marijuana in 2012. The data could rebuke the argument of many cannabis critics who claim legalization can lead to higher use among young people. That’s assuming a direct link between increased usage and seeking treatment. The findings could also be a reflection of changing attitudes regarding marijuana, making parents less likely to admit their kids into treatment programs. What do you think? Are more minors consuming cannabis or are parents just less concerned about it? Let us know online.
