1 Prevention s Debates about Marijuana Legalization Reefer Madness or Thoughtful Science? Real World Considerations, Implications from Research, and What it Means for the Prevention Community Jason R. Kilmer, Ph.D. University of Washington Associate Professor Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Asst. Director of Health & Wellness for AOD Education Division of Student Life Let s start with some discussion As a prevention community, what concerns do you have about medical marijuana or outright legalization for personal use? What are the main things you hear from those for legalization? What is missing, or what do you wish you had, in your prevention tool box? Washington State Impact Report (mfiles.org) 1
2 Average potency (nation) = 11.16% Average potency (Seattle) = 21.24% Concentrates average potency (nation) = 55.45% Concentrates average potency (Seattle) = 72.76% From the date of legalization to the date of commercial sales starting, poison center calls increased 54.26%; for those under 20, calls increased 80% Opportunities and lessons learned: How you talk about marijuana matters a lot! 2
3 Discussing marijuana word choice matters Do you smoke marijuana? A person who uses edibles daily can honestly say no If screening with a yes/no, consider do you use marijuana? Do you use marijuana? or have you used marijuana? followed by, What does your marijuana use look like? Finding potential hooks: An Example What are the good things about use for you? What are the not-so-good things about use? What would it be like if some of those not-so-good things happened less often? What might make some of those not-so-good things happen less often?

4 Volkow, N.D., Baler, R.D., Compton, W.M., & Weiss, S.R.B. (2014). Adverse health effects of marijuana use. The New England Journal of Medicine, 370 (23), Documented solidly in the science with high confidence Addiction 9% who experiment become addicted 17% who begin in adolescence 25-50% of those with daily use Compared to those who begin using in adulthood, those who begin in adolescence are 2-4 times as likely to develop cannabis dependence within 2 years Documented solidly in the science with high confidence School performance and achievement Early marijuana use associated with Impaired school performance Increased risk of dropping out of school Heavy marijuana use linked to Lower income Greater need for socioeconomic assistance Unemployment Criminal behavior Lower satisfaction with life 4
5 Documented solidly in the science with high confidence Motor vehicle accidents In accident culpability analysis, people testing positive for THC (minimum detection level of 1 ng per milliliter) were 3 to 7 times as likely to be responsible for a motor vehicle accident as those with no substance use. Overall risk of involvement in an accident: Increases by factor of about 2 after marijuana Increases by a factor of almost 5 for those above a.08% for alcohol Documented solidly in the science with high confidence Symptoms of chronic bronchitis Documented in the science with medium confidence Effect on Brain Development Adults with regular marijuana use during adolescence have impaired neural connectivity in precuneus and the fimbria (in the hippocampus) Reduced functional connectivity in prefrontal networks responsible for executive function and subcortical networks Decreased activity in prefrontal regions and reduced volumes in hippocampus. 5
6 Marijuana and cognitive abilities Effects on the brain Hippocampus Attention, concentration, and memory Research with college students shows impact on these even 24 hours after last use (Pope & Yurgelun-Todd, 1996) After daily use, takes 28 days for impact on attention, concentration, and memory to go away (Pope, et al., 2001) Hanson et al. (2010): Deficits in verbal learning (at 3 days, not 2 weeks or 3 weeks) Deficits in verbal working memory (at 3 days, at 2 weeks, not 3 weeks) Deficits in attention (still present at 3 weeks) Documented in the science with medium confidence Schizophrenia Can exacerbate severity and alter trajectory of onset Depression or anxiety Increased risk, but causality is difficult to establish Documented solidly in the science with medium confidence Gateway Documented changes in dopamine reactivity following early exposure to marijuana in animals It could be that those with susceptibility to drug taking might start with marijuana due to access, or that social interactions with other drug users are the real gateway 6
7 Documented solidly in the science with low confidence Lung cancer Confounds with tobacco use are far too pronounced Washington s Young Adult Health Survey Young Adult Health Survey Method and Procedures UW Center for the Study of Health and Risk Behaviors (CSHRB) partnered with DBHR to conduct internet survey Survey developed using existing validated measures when possible, with input from multiple experts, stakeholder groups, and state offices Cohort 1: Internet based survey conducted May through early July 2014 (N=2101) Cohort 2: Internet based survey conducted late May through October 2015 (N=1677 new participants, N = 1203 cohort 1 one-year follow up) Participants recruited using a combination of direct mail advertising to a random sample from DOL, as well as online advertising (Facebook, Craigslist, Amazon Mechanical Turk, study website, Facebook fan page) 7
8 YAHS Method (Continued) Assessed demographics on an ongoing basis and modified strategies to recruit under-represented groups Convenience sample, not a random sample To improve generalizability, used state census data to conduct post-stratification weighting to more accurately reflect the demographic and geographic diversity of Washington Weighted results closely mirror the unweighted results Wahkiakum % of sample by county Cohort-sequential design allows for multiple comparisons: Comparisons of the first cohort s data from 2014 (n=2,101) to the second cohort s data from 2015 (n=1677). These analyses compare changes over one year in two separate cross-sectional samples. Comparisons of the first cohort s data from 2014 to 2015 (n = 1203 participants). These findings describe changes over one year within the same cohort of individuals. 8
9 Cohort One (year one, 2014) to Cohort Two (year one, 2015) Comparing Cohort 1 and 2 data from YAHS: Where people got marijuana in the past 30 days * * * * p <.05 Comparing Cohort 1 and 2 on perceived physical risk of regular marijuana use 32.9% 40.1% 18.8% 8.3% 33.0% 44.3% 16.4% 6.3% * χ 2 p =.034 9

17 Emergence of more visible open-air drug market On 4/21/15 from Seattle Times: City officials and business leaders say they are embarking on an ambitious effort to shut down open-air drug dealing and associated crime in Seattle s downtown core with its new 9½ Block Strategy. 17
18 Seattle residents and visitors should not be forced to navigate a dangerous open-air drug market between the downtown retail core and Pike Place Market, Murray said. From Seattle Times, April 23, 2015 The arrests, dubbed Operation Crosstown Traffic, involved undercover officers who made 177 purchases of heroin, meth, marijuana, crack cocaine and other drugs from 186 street dealers. Impact of advertisements needs to be assessed 18
