Study finds youth cannabis use declined as US states legalised the drug

July 9, 2019

The study of more than 1.4 million high school students found cannabis use fell after legalisation.

Legalising cannabis in some parts of the US didn't encourage young people to use the drug, according to new research.

A study of more than 1.4 million high school students in America found cannabis use among youth fell after legalisation.

A researcher here says we could see similar results if New Zealand law is changed.

Kiwis are set to vote on the legalisation of cannabis in a referendum next year alongside the general election.

Ms Ardern said they haven’t drafted the question yet, but they want to “know where New Zealander’s sentiments lie”.
