Pot smoking by teens has been increasing, and earlier research has shown that fewer of them see marijuana as risky. But [a] new study published in The Lancet medical journal suggests that medical marijuana laws are not the reason.
The research showed no significant increase in 21 states with medical marijuana laws.
"Our findings provide the strongest evidence to date that marijuana use by teenagers does not increase after a state legalizes medical marijuana," lead author Deborah Hasin, a researcher at Columbia University in New York, said in a statement.
