“We appreciate Goodwin and Silverman’s1 research on cannabis use among U.S. youth from 2013 to 2021, exploring co-use factors such as cigarette use and alcohol use, demographics, and cannabis legal status in state-of-residence. Their work sheds light on the dynamic landscape of youth cannabis use. The authors acknowledge the influence of cultural and legal shifts on national trends, particularly with evolving cannabis legalization and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We concur that these factors impact both adults and youth, emphasizing the importance of scrutinizing diverse youth populations, who face common challenges such as data disaggregation, language barriers, and negative stereotypes.”
