"In a landmark paper, economists have collected evidence on the societal implications of cannabis legalization and found it lowered the rates of suicide, binge drinking, traffic fatalities, and perhaps ironically, cannabis use in teenagers.

Now that recreational cannabis is available in 18 states, and medically authorized in 36 states, concerns over the effects of widespread societal access are appearing as the motivation behind scientific research.

Much of that scientific research has now been collected in a meta-analysis of 36 different papers published between 2013 to 2021. It shows that the societal impact of cannabis legalization has led to some significant positive outcomes.

One criticism from concerned parents or conservative politicians was that increased legalization would lead to increased teenage consumption of cannabis...

It seems logical to say that if cannabis were legal it would be more commonly consumed—but that wasn’t the case. In fact, the meta-analysis, published in the Journal of Economic Literature, found that teenage access to cannabis decreased by 8%, and frequent use decreased by 9%.

The reason was believed to be that once drug dealers were replaced by dispensaries with a legal obligation to check ID, far fewer teens were able to access it.

In another study, cannabis legalization was found, during the period 1999–2010, to be inversely associated with opioid overdose deaths, although once the years 2011-2017 were added into the analysis, the effect waned.

This was believed to be representative of the evolution of the opioid epidemic, reasoning that “perhaps marijuana and prescription pain medications are substitutes, but marijuana and heroin are not.”

However that wasn’t the only study which linked cannabis legalization to reduced opioid deaths. Two others published in 2019 and 2020 found the same; the second of which determined it to be 16-21%.

Another finding significant for individual health concerns was “strong evidence that legalizing marijuana discourages the use of alcohol, especially binge drinking.”

Perhaps as a result of this decrease in alcohol consumption, there were significant reductions in annual numbers of traffic fatalities.

“Anderson, Hansen, and Rees (2013) were the first researchers to estimate the effects of [medical marijuana law] adoption on traffic fatality rates,” the authors write.

“These authors found that legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes was associated with a 9–10% reduction in traffic fatalities… with larger negative effects on traffic fatalities involving alcohol, traffic fatalities on the weekends, and traffic fatalities at night.”

In yet more good news, cannabis legalization was linked with reduced state-wide rates of suicide in males, with an 11% reduction in 20–29-year-olds, and a 9% reduction among 30–39-year-olds."

I am 100% pro-legalization.

At the same time, I'm a lung patient and I wish the guys who moved in across the hall recently would stop hot boxing the entire hall and my kitchen, because it’s fucking with my respiration and not safe as we pass through there on the way to the parking lot.

I really wish they would switch to vapes or edibles because this is not sustainable for us.

Types of Terpenes

Here are some common terpenes found in cannabis and their associated effects:

1-Limonene Limonene is found in citrus fruits and has a citrusy aroma. It is associated with elevated mood, stress relief, and potential anti-inflammatory properties. Some research suggests it may also have anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects.

2-Myrcene Myrcene is commonly found in hops, mangoes, and thyme. It has an earthy and musky aroma. Myrcene is believed to have sedating effects and can act as a muscle relaxant. It may also enhance the absorption of other cannabinoids.

3-Pinene As the name suggests, pinene has a pine-like aroma and is found in pine trees, rosemary, and basil. It is associated with increased alertness and focus. Pinene may also have anti-inflammatory properties and has been studied for its potential bronchodilator effects.

4-Linalool Linalool is present in lavender, coriander, and cinnamon and has a floral scent. It is known for its calming and relaxing effects and is often used in aromatherapy for its potential to reduce anxiety and promote sleep. Linalool may also have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

5-Caryophyllene Caryophyllene is commonly found in black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon. It has a spicy and peppery aroma. Unlike other terpenes, caryophyllene can interact directly with the body's endocannabinoid system. It may have potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and has been studied for its potential use in the treatment of anxiety and depression.

6-Terpinolene Terpinolene has a complex aroma, often described as floral, herbal, and citrusy. It is found in various plants, including apples, cumin, and lilacs. Terpinolene is associated with uplifting and energizing effects. It may also have sedative properties and is sometimes used in aromatherapy for its potential calming effects.
