As marijuana legalization and popularization have increased, perceptions of the drug’s safety have also shifted, according to a study surveying young adults.

The study was published by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and other researchers and made available in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on Aug. 11. The study spanned from 2017 to 2022. The survey results were collected from 9,003 adults aged 18 to over 60 in 2017, 5,979 of those same respondents in 2020, and 5,420 of those same respondents in 2021.
