We investigate whether medical marijuana legalization affects substance use and criminal behavior among young adults. We use the 1997 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in a difference-in-difference approach to isolate the causal effect of medical marijuana legalization on individual criminal behaviors and consumption of substances, such as alcohol, marijuana, and hard drugs.
