Today, the @Surgeon_General implied that legalization increases access to cannabis among youth. This is inaccurate. Regulation of cannabis requires businesses to check for proof of age, creating a legal barrier for anyone under the age of 21.

We fully support education to reduce teen use. Education can and should go hand-in-hand with adult-use legalization. Prohibition has completely failed to restrict youth access. This study shows reduction in frequent MJ use by teens in legalization states:https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2737637?guestAccessKey=5e4e41eb-ec96-4641-86f9-b5c89cc7cc48 …
Don’t want to get into dueling studies as my advisory is based on many studies + expert opinion from ACOG and AAP, but important to note emerging (like 2 weeks ago) studies showing 
youth harm in legalization states, likely due to potency & access.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2748051 …

How does this study on an increase in cannabis related pediatric poison control calls in MA in any way prove that legalization increases youth access across the board? Data shows that youth cannnabis use has remained the same or decreased in legal states. Nothing to speculate.
