Washington State University: Pro-cannabis social media linked to youths’ intentions to use

Washington State University: Pro-cannabis social media linked to youths’ intentions to use. “Despite laws against advertising cannabis to teens, young people reported in surveys that they still see a lot of positive cannabis messages through social media posts. Washington State University researchers found these messages were also connected to the teens’ intentions to use cannabis, and for college students, with their actual use. Anti-cannabis messages also had an effect in lessening use-intentions, but young people saw less of those types of messages.”
