New Rutgers study details weed legalization's impact on age, race and gender one year later.
What ages, races and gender use cannabis the most, and what kind of impact has the legalization of weed in New Jersey had on people’s lives?
“... but it’s not the first-of-its-kind in the U.S.,” he said. “Other states do a yearly cannabis assessment in their state every year – Colorado, California, among them.” Menifield said the study provides a baseline for future research so a comparative analysis over time can be made to help shape state policy.
Some of the most glaring racial disparities occurred within the legal system, according to the study. The number of Black residents arrested for selling marijuana was more than five times higher than white residents. Black residents were four times as likely to be arrested for possession. When comparing truancy rates from 2016 to 2018, Black students were suspended at a rate more than two times higher than other groups and compared to white students, they missed more than twice as many school days due to suspension, based on the report’s wealth of data.
