COLORADO – Colorado kids are not smoking more pot since the drug became legal – but their older siblings and parents certainly are. That’s according to a new state study.
The report details changes in everything from pot arrests, to tax collections and calls to poison control. It says marijuana use by people under 18 did not rise significantly in the years after the 2012 vote. Nearly a third of Coloradans 18 to 25 in 2014 had used pot in the last 30 days, a rise of about 5 percent from the year before recreational pot was legalized.
The survey showed a similar spike in adults over 26.
