29 Selected References 29
30 Adult Use Facts No increase in youth use No increase in traffic fatalities Reduction of opioid fatalities Expanded economics: jobs, tourism, taxes 30
31 Youth Use Overview: Four major studies all conducted within the last six years by respected academic and professional journals or state funded government entities have concluded that states with adult-use marijuana SHOW NO INCREASE IN YOUTH USE: 1. The Lancet Psychiatry (2015) Medical marijuana laws and adolescent marijuana use in the USA from 1991 to 2014: results from annual, repeated cross-sectional surveys 2. American Academy of Pediatrics (2016) Adolescents' Ease of Access to Marijuana Before and After Legalization of Marijuana in Washington State" 3. CA Lt. Gov Gavin Newsome (2013) Youth Uprising Speech 4. CO, WA 2012 Study (2012) Medical Marijuana Laws and Teen Marijuana Use 31
32 Youth Use Source: National Survey on Drug Use and Health 32
33 Traffic Fatalities OVERVIEW: Studies conclude no increase in traffic mortalities postadult use implementation AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH (2017) CRASH FATALITY RATES AFTER RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION IN WASHINGTON AND COLORADO CONCLUSION: Three years after recreational marijuana legalization, changes in motor vehicle crash fatality rates for Washington and Colorado were not statistically different from those in similar states without recreational marijuana legalization. Future studies over a longer time remain warranted. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH (2017) US TRAFFIC FATALITIES, , AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAWS CONCLUSION: Both mmls and dispensaries were associated with reductions in traffic fatalities, especially among those aged 25 to 44 years. State-specific analysis showed heterogeneity of the mml traffic fatalities association, suggesting moderation by other local factors. These findings could influence policy decisions on the enactment or repealing of mmls and how they are implemented. 33
34 Opiate Mortality OVERVIEW: States that enacted medical or adult use marijuana laws experienced UP TO A 25% REDUCTION IN OPIOID MORTALITY RATES. Journal of the American Medical Association (2014) Medical Cannabis Laws and Opioid Analgesic Overdose Mortality in the United States, RAND BING Center for Health Economics (2015) Do Medical Marijuana Laws Reduce Addiction and Deaths Related to Pain Killers? Castlight Health (2015) The opioid crisis in America s workforce American Journal of Public Health (2017) Recreational Cannabis Legalization and Opioid-Related Deaths in Colorado, CONCLUSION: Legalization of cannabis in Colorado was associated with short-term reductions in opioid-related deaths. As additional data become available, research should replicate these analyses in other states with legal recreational cannabis. 34
35 Opiate Mortality 35
36 Economic Benefit Jobs, Tourism, Taxes NEW JOBS Washington Post (2016): The marijuana industry created more than 18,000 new jobs in Colorado last year \Newsweek (2018): LEGALIZING MARIJUANA NATIONWIDE WOULD CREATE ONE MILLION JOBS, STUDY SAYS NORML (2017): Report: Legal Marijuana Industry Has Created 123,000 Full-Time Jobs Business Insider (2017): Legal marijuana could overtake manufacturing in job creation by 2020 TOURISM Denver Post (2015): Marijuana has huge influence on Colorado tourism, state survey says Positive Economic Impact: Business Insider (2017): 5 towns saved from ruin by the booming legal weed industry INCREASED TAXES Colorado collected $135M in 2015 $35M of that windfall went to schools Washington expects $154.6M in 2016 Oregon collected $3.5M in January of 2015 alone Aurora, CO is, for example, using $1.5M generated by local cannabis operators to combat homelessness 36
