Pennsylvania’s Democratic U.S. Senate nominee John Fetterman wants to legalize cannabis nationally and is urging President Joe Biden to deschedule the drug, removing it from the list of federally controlled substances.
the survey that was conducted by the Institute for Research at the University of Michigan. Data was collected between April 2021 and October. Of the young adult demographic, NPR noted:
While marijuana has been legalized for recreational use in 19 states since 2014, its short and long-term side effects can be severe. In the immediate term, users can experience hallucinations and delusions when taking higher dosages, as well as psychosis, though this is more common in regular users, the NIDA. In the long run, heavy marijuana use in teenage years through early adulthood, on average, leads to a loss of about eight IQ points.
The study gauged the frequency of their marijuana use and honed in on 111 sets of identical twin participants included in the 3,421 respondents. Among identical twins — where one sibling lived in a state where pot was legalized recreationally and the other resided in a state where it remained illegal — the twin in the recreationally legal state, on average, consumed cannabis 20 percent more frequently than their sibling.
