Federal Report: #marijuana Treatment Admissions Among Youth Decline Sharply in Legalization States
The report, entitled Trends in Adolescent Treatment Admissions for Marijuana in the United States, 2008-2017, finds that, nationally, “adolescent treatment admissions for marijuana declined in most of states. The mean annual admissions rate for all states declined over the study period by nearly half, from 60 (admissions per 10,000 adolescents) in 2008 to 31 in 2017.” States experiencing the “steepest level of admissions decline” were among those that had enacted adult-use legalization laws.
Commenting on the study, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said, “These findings add to the growing body of scientific literature showing that legalization policies can be implemented in a manner that provides access for adults while simultaneously limiting youth access and misuse.”

Study Finds 17% Of Patients With #rheumatologic Diseases Are Cannabis Consumers
A study by a team of researchers in France has found that 17% of #patients with rheumatologic diseases consume #cannabis. A report on the study, “Cannabis use assessment and its impact on pain in rheumatologic diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis,” was posted online this month prior to its publication in the journal Rheumatology.
To conduct the study, researchers in Clermont-Ferrand, France, performed a systematic review of scientific literature published through June 2020 on the use of cannabis to treat rheumatologic diseases. Rheumatologic diseases include conditions such as fibromyalgia (FM), lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Appellation program, cooperatives might give small California cannabis farmers a boost
Small marijuana farmers in California who’ve struggled in recent years – either to launch their own brands, expand their businesses or survive the transition to the new legal market – might have a brighter future, thanks in part to various programs and ventures now in the works.
Some of those include:
- An appellations program run by the state.
- Farming cooperatives designed to bolster craft growers.
- Co-branding ventures between distributors and farmers.
- The likelihood of new banking access, business loans and capital to allow for expansion and brand development.
Reverse psychology, if you tell people to not do something, they may do it anyways. lol
