Does legalizing recreational marijuana cause more teens to smoke it? That's highly possible, according to a new UC Davis study, which found teens in Washington state were “significantly” less aware of its potential harm and more likely to have smoked pot after it became legal. “Adolescents are particularly important to look at since some will go on to chronic use. This is something we need to look at further ... to prevent any unintended consequences down the road,” said Dr. Magdalena Cerdá, associate professor in emergency medicine and associate director of the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program.

Sales have likely soared beyond one million guns since then.
