Abstract

Commentary to: "Medical marijuana laws and adolescent marijuana use in the United States: A systematic review and meta-analysis"

Past-month marijuana use among adolescents does not increase after the passage of medical marijuana laws in the U.S. It is crucial for future research to explore causal mechanisms affecting different types of marijuana users to bring a deeper understanding of behavioral responses to marijuana policies.

Keywords: marijuana, medical marijuana law, marijuana use
