The city I work for is roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes from the border of Mexico. I don't have empirical data to show the availability of Cannabis here,, but I suspect its pretty easy to get if you want it. I have heard we are a major hub of Cannabis distribution to the rest of the US from my LEO friends.
I say that to say this; I grew up here and it was significantly easier to get Cannabis (and other stuff) than it was to get alcohol as I grew up. At the time, I didn't keep up with geopolitics nor the drug trade in general. We just assumed our proximity to the border "was somehow related"... Although, this fact may have changed since then.
Further, I would also suspect that if there was major harm being done as a correlation with availability, Fire Service and EMS professionals would be reading about it in our trade journals. As some have pointed out, Cannabis is widely available in Colorado, Washington, and I believe Oregon.
