“…Fifthly, while cigarettes remain the most commonly used tobacco product by US adults [6], e‐cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco product by youth [61] and e‐cigarette use is associated with cannabis use among youth [62]. Further, the use of cannabis via e‐cigarettes/vaping devices has increased among US youth, especially among states with MCL and RCL [63].…”

Aims To estimate the impact of recreational and medical cannabis laws (RCL, MCL) on the use of cannabis and cigarettes in the United States. Design A difference‐in‐difference approach was applied to data from the 2004–17 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). Setting United States. Participants Nationally representative cross‐sectional survey of Americans aged 12 years and older (combined analytical sample for 2004–17, n = 783 663). Measurements Data on past‐month use of (1) cigarettes and (2) cannabis were used to classify respondents into four groups: cigarette and cannabis co‐use, cigarette‐only use, cannabis‐only use or no cigarette or cannabis use. State of residence was measured by self‐report. MCL/RCL status came from state government websites. Findings Difference‐in‐difference analyses suggest that MCL was associated with an increase in cigarette–cannabis co‐use overall [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02–1.16], with the greatest increases among those aged 50 years and above (aOR = 1.60; CI = 1.39–1.84), married (aOR = 1.19; CI = 1.07–1.31), non‐Hispanic (NH) black (aOR = 1.14; CI = 1.02–1.07) and with a college degree or above (aOR = 1.15; CI = 1.06–1.24). MCL was associated with increases in cigarette‐only use among those aged 50 years and above (aOR = 1.07; CI = 1.01–1.14) and NH black (aOR = 1.16; CI = 1.06–1.27) and increases in cannabis‐only use among those aged 50 years and above (aOR = 1.24; CI = 1.07–1.44) and widowed/divorced/separated (aOR = 1.18; CI = 1.01–1.37). RCL was associated with an increase in cannabis‐only use overall (aOR = 1.21; 95% CI = 1.09–1.34), a decline in cigarette‐only use overall (aOR = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.81–0.97) and increases in co‐use among those who were married (aOR = 1.24; CI = 1.02–1.50) and aged 50 years and above (aOR = 1.37; CI = 1.03–1.84). Conclusions Recreational and medical cannabis legalization have had a varying impact on the use, and co‐use, of cannabis and cigarettes in the United States.

Oklahoma’s medical cannabis is some of the least restrictive in the US. Previous research suggests that American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) have higher rates of cannabis use than other racial or ethnic groups. The goals of this paper are, first, to look at cannabis use among high school students living on the Cherokee Nation Reservation before (2017) and after (2019) medical cannabis because legal in Oklahoma (2018) utilizing the Cherokee Nation Youth Risk Behavior Survey (CNYRBS). Second, to describe the socio-demographic characteristics of youth using cannabis in the Cherokee Nation Reservation. Data were retrieved from the 2017 and 2019 CNYRBS. The data for this study included 1,216 high school students who completed the 2017 and 1,476 who completed the 2019 CNYRBS. After removal of incomplete records, there were 2,602 students whose data was analyzed in this study. Data were weighted to be representative of public-school students attending grades 9–12 within Cherokee Nation Reservation. Despite the legalization of medical cannabis in Oklahoma in 2018, there was no change in cannabis use among youth between 2017 and 2019. There were variations in cannabis use based on demographic factors and other substance uses. AIAN individuals had higher odds of current cannabis use compared to non-Hispanic White students, but there were no differences based on ethnicity. Additionally, the use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs were associated with increased odds of cannabis use among both current and former users compared to those who had never used it. There was no spike in use among youth at least immediately after the legalization of cannabis in the Cherokee Nation Reservation. There were socio-demographic as well as substance use disparities in the use of cannabis.
