Youth-friendly Cannabis Edibles: Impact on Teen Use

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this serial cross-sectional study of adolescents in grades 7 to 11, legalization of cannabis edibles and extracts was associated with an increase not only in edible cannabis use and cannabis smoking, but also in the overall prevalence of cannabis use and co-use of alcohol and cannabis, highlighting the need for stricter policy measures to curb adolescents' access to cannabis edibles and extracts and greater awareness among adolescents about harms of cannabis use.
