Abstract Background and Aims Between 2002 2014, past‐month marijuana use among pregnant women in the United States increased 62%, nearly twice growth of general population. This coincides with proliferation state medical laws (MMLs) authorizing physicians to recommend for approved conditions.

Objective To assess the effect of cannabis legalisation on health effects and healthcare utilisation in Colorado (CO), first state to legalise recreational cannabis, when compared with two control states, New York (NY) Oklahoma (OK). Design We used 2010 2014 Healthcare Cost Utilisation Project (HCUP) inpatient databases compare changes rates diagnoses CO versus NY OK. Setting Population-based, inpatient. Participants HCUP state-wide data comprising over 28 million individuals 16 hospitalisations across three states. Main outcome measures International Classification Diseases-Ninth Edition codes specific various medical potentially treated by or exacerbated cannabis. Diagnoses were classified based weight evidence from National Academy Science (NAS). Negative binomial models admissions between Results In OK, respectively, abuse increased (risk ratio (RR) 1.27, 95% CI 1.26 1.28 RR 1.16, 1.15 1.17; both p<0.0005) post-legalisation. CO, there was a reduction total but only OK (RR 0.97, 0.96 0.98, p<0.0005). Length stay costs did not change significantly Post-legalisation most consistent NAS included an increase motor vehicle accidents, alcohol abuse, overdose injury chronic pain (all p<0.05 each state). Conclusions Recreational is associated neutral utilisation. line previous evidence, liberalisation linked injuries decrease admissions. Such population-level may help guide future decisions regarding use, prescription policy.

By the end of 2016, 28 states had liberalized their marijuana laws: by decriminalizing possession, legalizing for medical purposes, or more broadly.More are considering such policy changes even while supporters and opponents continue to debate impacts.Yet evidence on these liberalizations remains scarce, in part due data limitations.We use from Monitoring Future's annual surveys high school seniors evaluate impact use, other substance alcohol consumption, attitudes surrounding youth health outcomes, crime rates, traffic accidents.These have several advantages over those used prior analyses.We find that minimal examined outcomes.Notably, many outcomes predicted critics liberalizations, as increases drug criminal behavior, failed materialize wake liberalizations.
