Meinhofer A, et al. - Researchers examined pregnant and non-pregnant women (aged 12-49) in publicly funded specialty substance use treatment facilities for the correlation between medical marijuana laws (MMLs) and substance use treatment utilization. In addition, they examined whether MML provisions, age groups, and treatment referral sources changed the correlation. In MML states vs non-MML states, they noted an increase in the rate of marijuana treatment admissions among pregnant women by 4.69. No statistically significant association was seen in non-pregnant women. Especially in states with legally protected dispensaries, findings suggest greater substance use treatment utilization by pregnant adult women in correlation to medical marijuana law implementation in US states.
