Association of State Cannabis Legalization With Cannabis Use Disorder and Cannabis Poisoning
In this longitudinal cohort study, MCLs were associated with increased CUD and cannabis poisoning diagnoses, and RCLs were associated with increased cannabis poisoning in adults aged 18 to 64 years with employer-sponsored health insurance. Communities with increased access to cannabis may experience increased health care use and costs due to increases in cannabis poisoning and CUD, and new clinical and policy interventions are needed to curb these rising diagnoses.
