Contributing sentiments towards policy:
53% : But enforcement is lax.52% : Shielding teens from increased exposure to marijuana was a key selling point of the legalization plan California voters approved in 2016.
45% : Five years ago, The Times' Editorial Board urged Californians to support Proposition 64 in part because it was supposed to help prevent teen use while making marijuana safer -- and more just -- for adults.
38% : The trend is troublesome because teen brains are still developing, and research shows that using marijuana at an early age increases the likelihood of developing a problematic level of use.
