Young adults who live near medical marijuana dispensaries use more often

Medical marijuana is legal in some form in 33 states, but relatively little is known about the availability of marijuana and use among younger people. A new study finds that younger adults who live in neighborhoods with more medical marijuana dispensaries use marijuana more frequently than their peers and have more-positive views about the drug. The associations were strongest among young adults who lived near dispensaries that had storefront signs.
