Legalizing Pot Decreases Usage Among Younger People A new report says youths are smoking less marijuana in U.S. areas where the drug <br />has been declared legal. The analysis, which used figures <br />from 1993 until 2017, can be found in <br />the medical journal 'JAMA Pediatrics.' Montana State professor Mark Anderson, one of the paper's authors, adds that legalization for medical reasons was <br />not a factor. Mark Anderson, via report According to the report, legalization <br />has contributed to an 8% fall in pot use <br />by high schoolers over the last month. It adds that there is a 9% decrease for <br />those who smoked marijuana <br />over 10 times in that same period. Stanford professor of pediatrics <br />Bonnie Halpern-Felsher says it may <br />be due to pot sales in the street declining. Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, <br />via CNN
