Cannabis decriminalization and the age of onset of cannabis use.
International Journal on Drug Policy 2017 May
BACKGROUND: In the Czech Republic in 2010 a law was introduced decriminalizing personal possession of small quantities of several illicit drugs, including cannabis.
METHODS: We use 2012 survey data to examine the effect of a change in cannabis policy on the age of onset of cannabis use. We estimate the effect of the policy change using a mixed proportional hazards framework that models the transition to first cannabis use.
RESULTS: The change in cannabis policy did not affect the transition to first cannabis use.
CONCLUSION: We find no evidence of cannabis decriminalization affecting the age of onset of cannabis use.
