Living Near Cannabis Stores: More Cannabis Use, Less Drinking? | Oregon Study Explained

A recent study from Oregon State University reveals surprising connections between living close to cannabis retail stores and both cannabis use and alcohol consumption. The research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, analyzed data from over 60,000 Oregonians and found that closer proximity to cannabis retailers is linked to increased frequent cannabis use but decreased heavy drinking. Key findings: More Cannabis Use: People living near more cannabis stores were more likely to use cannabis 10+ days per month. Less Heavy Drinking: Those closer to cannabis retailers were less likely to report heavy alcohol consumption (8+ drinks/week for women, 15+ for men). Age Differences: These effects were most pronounced in young adults (21-24) and older adults (65+). This video explores the study's findings, discusses potential reasons behind these trends, and highlights the need for age-specific prevention strategies. We'll also touch on the implications for cannabis legalization and public health.
