Since 2002, the proportion of adolescents reporting marijuana use has decreased, and more young adolescents report strong disapproval of marijuana use, according to new research from the UT School of Social Work.
The study, led by social work professor Christopher Salas-Wright and published in The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, examined the perceptions and use of marijuana among youths in the U.S. between 2002 and 2013.
“Overall, our results suggest that important changes are underway in the perception and use of marijuana among American youth,” Salas-Wright said.
