Mundell (6/20, Mundell) reports, “As society relaxes its rules around marijuana, U.S. teens seem to be responding by using the drug in much bigger numbers than a generation ago,” researchers concluded after examining “1991-2017 U.S. federal health data on more than 200,000 high school students.” Investigators “found that the number who said they’d used pot at least once over the past month rose 10-fold – from 0.6% in 1991 to 6.3% by 2017.” The findings were published online in the American Journal of Public Health.
