Passage of recreational cannabis laws leads to some rise in use but not for all demographics

The U.S. is seeing an increased use of cannabis resulting from its legalization for recreational purposes. The findings showed that passage of the laws led to a rise in the odds of past-year and past-month cannabis use among individuals of Hispanic, Other and non-Hispanic whites compared to the period prior to enacting laws for recreational use. However, legalization did not lead to use more frequently, or cannabis use disorder among these groups.
