A report highlights a loophole allowing marijuana ads on social media to reach youths despite regulations prohibiting such advertising. Alisa Padon of the Prevention Policy Group emphasizes that young users can easily access cannabis-related content, fostering engagement and interest in marijuana. A national survey shows a rise in cannabis use among teens, and experts warn that early usage can lead to addiction and hinder cognitive development. Pediatricians stress the long-term risks associated with early cannabis exposure, making it imperative for regulators to address the issue urgently.
Businesses are allowed to make their own pages and then post ads on their feed. Youth are bypassing age restrictions and seeing the ads for products they're not legally allowed to buy.
Research shows that type of engagement is related to an increased likelihood of wanting to use and using cannabis... regulators are doing nothing about it.
