Over the past several decades, opponents of marijuana legalization have fretted that legally allowing weed for recreational purposes will lead to more pot use among teens. But a new survey suggests that's not happening so far: Despite the recent enactment of legalization in four states and Washington, DC, the 2015 Monitoring the Future survey found teen marijuana use held steady in the past year.
Some media outlets and advocates declared a victory for legalization with this data. The Washington Post stated, "The case for marijuana legalization just got stronger." The Marijuana Policy Project similarly claimed, "National survey on teen marijuana use debunks anti-legalization theories."
I'm going to go a little more cautious and boring here: I think it's way too early to say anything about the full effects of marijuana legalization. In fact, I think the surveys released so far are useless for judging legalization's full effects.
