Will Marijuana Make America Great Again? Skeptics May Disagree, But New Data Finds Otherwise

A new state-run survey by the state of Washington may have dispelled some misconceptions about the effects recreational marijuana use has on teenagers. Opponents of marijuana decriminalization have cited that it could lead to increased use by teens but the results from Washington State Healthy Survey of 37,000 middle and high school students found that teen use didn't change in 2016 from 2012, the year Washington decriminalized recreational marijuana use.
