I don't have actual data because it's not available. Anecdotally, I have friends/family who teach and there seems to be a definite increase in the amount of kids smoking. It's much easier for them to get their hands on it now. Just like having legal alcohol, they send in their older friends to buy cannabis. Additionally, you have a lot of families moving in just to grow pot and they'll come in buy up some sort of low end desert property shack thinking they can grow a bunch of plants all over their property legally. They don't take care of their kids at all so there's a large influx of kids just wandering around without parents, missing school etc. because their parents are high all the time. I see people smoking and jumping in vehicles regularly, they also appear to think it's just fine to drive intoxicated since it's not alcohol. Then you have the whole cannabis oil vape pen issue which is sort of a downstream effect. I'm not advocating for keeping it illegal. I'm just pointing out it's not all rainbows and unicorns when you legalize it. Supposedly the tax money goes to schools but I've yet to witness any actual improvements from it. Like most things, they'll say they're going to put taxes in one place and then pull other money away from them. There's also this strange pervasive idea that no harm can come from cannabis. There are multiple studies showing it isn't good for adolescents.
