Decriminalization of Marijuana and the Demand for Alcohol, Marijuana and Cocaine Social Science Journal 30,4 (1993): 385-399. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/036233199390016O Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: JAI Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Educational Attainment; Geographical Variation; Government Regulation; Marital Status; Religious Influences; Self-Reporting; Substance Use This study examines whether the decriminalization of marijuana in the eleven states that have decriminalized has affected self-reported usage by kind or level of drug. Generally, decriminalization is not found to significantly impact reported usage of drugs. An implication is that the demand for drugs is highly inelastic with respect to incremental changes in the legal sanctions for possession of small amounts of marijuana. |
