The medicinal marijuana laws in states such as California could possibly be influencing teenagers to smoke pot. As unbelievable as this is, because there are no age laws for medicinal marijuana, teens sometimes abuse the law and get it just for there own entertainment. This could be a big explanation to a higher percentage of marijuana using teens.
Anti-drug advocates often assert that California's medical marijuana law and the prevalence of the dispensaries that distribute the drug are making it easier for children to get pot.
But showing a direct link between medical marijuana laws and teen drug use is difficult, as illustrated by two separate government reports used by parties on both sides of the contentious issue to support their positions. -Edward Sifuentes
