Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itA specific comparative claim about youth access to cannabis versus regulated substances like cigarettes and alcohol — this is an empirical assertion that can be checked against survey data and research on youth substance access
What we foundThe claim is supported by some older survey data but directly contradicted by more recent, authoritative data showing alcohol is consistently more accessible to teens than cannabis.
