The Highs and Lows of Medical Marijuana Legalization Presented: Washington DC, Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Annual Fall Research Conference, November 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Keyword(s): Crime; Drug Use; Geocoded Data; Legislation; State-Level Data/Policy; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. 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.
