Teen Marijuana Use Has Declined In Washington Since Legalization
Teen Marijuana Use Has Declined In Washington Since Legalization
Recent data from a survey conducted among teenage students in Washington State
indicates a decline in both lifetime and recent marijuana use over the past few
years. The findings also suggest that underage students' perceived access to
cannabis has generally decreased since the state legalized it for adults in
2012. This contradicts concerns expressed by opponents of the policy change.
In 2023, approximately 8.4% of 10th graders in Washington reported using
marijuana in the past 30 days, a slight increase from 7.2 percent in 2021. But
both of those numbers were sharply lower than pre-legalization numbers. For
instance, in 2010, 20% of 10th graders admitted to using cannabis in the past
month. In King County, the most populous in the state, only 5.5% of 10th
graders reported recent cannabis use in 2023, down from 7.3% in 2021 and 18.1%
in 2010. Similar declines were observed in lifetime marijuana use across
different grade levels surveyed, including 6th, 8th, and 12th grades. "In 2021,
survey data showed a 50% decline in youth cannabis and alcohol use in the past
30-days among 10th graders. The 2023 results show these numbers have remained
relatively stable", said Kristen Haley, the state Liquor and Cannabis Board's
(LCB) public health education liaison. Health officials attribute the
significant drops in substance use between 2018 and 2021 partly to the COVID-19
pandemic. "The COVID-19 pandemic brought with it a large decrease, roughly 50%,
in most youth substance use. While the long-term impacts are unknown, in 2023 we
see that substance use has remained relatively stable, both in Washington and
nationally", said Washington State's Department of Health.

/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
President Joe Biden, who has previously falsely stated on several occasions that
his marijuana pardons also expunged people’s records, has now acknowledged that
his clemency actions did not do that—stating that “their records should be
expunged as well, I might add.”
The New Hampshire House of Representatives rejected Senate changes to a
marijuana legalization bill—requesting that a conference committee be formed to
negotiate differences between the chambers’ versions.
Congressional lawmakers filed amendments to let Department of Veterans Affairs
doctors recommend medical cannabis, block THC drug testing of federal job
applicants, protect people from being denied security clearances over marijuana
and encourage psychedelics research.
A new federally funded study found that marijuana terpenes are “as effective as
morphine at reducing chronic neuropathic pain,” with fewer side effects.
* “Terpenes also appeared to enhance the efficacy of morphine when given in
combination.”
Florida lawyer John Morgan, who funded the effort to legalize medical cannabis
in the state, is now backing the recreational marijuana legalization initiative
on the November ballot.
A member of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission called intoxicating
hemp products a “public menace.”
/ FEDERAL
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) spoke about his support for marijuana reform.
Sen. Angus King (I-ME) said he believes that illegal marijuana cultivation
operations in Maine are likely managed directly by the Chinese Communist Party.
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) tweeted, “Reclassifying marijuana ignores science and
endangers our youth. The Biden administration’s reckless disregard for
protecting Americans is disturbing, and yet another example of ideology over
common sense.”
/ STATES
The California Assembly passed a kratom regulation bill.
The Texas Senate State Affairs Committee held a hearing in the lieutenant
governor’s push to ban intoxicating hemp products.
Ohio senators filed a bill to restrict intoxicating hemp products and require
people who grow marijuana at home to submit an affidavit pledging not to sell
it, among other changes.
The Vermont Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a lawsuit filed by a man who
says he was improperly denied unemployment benefits due to medical cannabis use.
Maryland regulators posted guidance about reporting requirements for ancillary
businesses and security guard agencies that work with the marijuana industry.
Washington State regulators posted guidance on a new law concerning tax
exemptions on certain medical cannabis purchases.
Minnesota regulators sent a press release about newly enacted changes to
marijuana laws.
