“…The changing cannabis policies in the United States (US) have led to important public health questions about their potential consequences concerning cannabis use prevalence, cannabis use disorder, and cannabis-related injury at the population level (Cerdá, Wall, Keyes, Galea, & Hasin, 2012; Compton, Volkow, & Lopez, 2017; Maxwell & Mendelson, 2016). Various studies have assessed the impact of medical cannabis laws (MCLs) on changes in the prevalence of cannabis use and perceived availability (Chu, 2014; D.…”

“…Las percepciones de los adolescentes sobre el cannabis parecen estar influidas por su publicidad, ya que una mayor exposición publicitaria de cannabis medicinal se asoció significativamente con una mayor probabilidad de consumo de cannabis en adolescentes y mayores intenciones de usarlo un año después (D'Amico, Miles, & Tucker, 2015). Debido a esto parece razonable especular que las leyes y regulaciones sobre el UMC podrían amplifican el consumo de cannabis por parte de los jóvenes al disipar el estigma social asociado con el uso recreativo del cannabis (URC) y mitigar el temor de que su consumo pueda dar lugar a un resultado negativo para la salud (Compton, Volkow, & Lopez, 2017;Stolzenberg, D'Alessio, & Dariano, 2016). Sin embargo, otros autores plantean que en lugares donde se han efectuado regulaciones legales para el UMC no han visto aumentar explosivamente el consumo de cannabis en los primeros años después de su promulgación.…”

Between 2014 and 2017, for example, Colorado’s government increased tax collection from $68m (£55m; €61m) to $247m but only spent $2m on anti-marijuana education.…”
