Yet another ugly consequence of marijuana legalization is rearing its head: the growing rates of use and dangerous abuse of pot among kids and teens in the US.
A study published Monday by Clinical Toxicology reports a 245% jump in the number of calls related to pot use among 6- to 18-year-olds from 2000 to 2020, with close to 1,800 such calls in 2020 alone. Those numbers, the study authors say, have been supercharged by the trend since 2017 of state marijuana legalization — and by the fact that so much marijuana is now consumed in edible forms. https://nypost.com/2022/12/10/awful-news-on-kids-weed-use-should-slow-legalization-roll/
