Perceived risk of regular cannabis use in the United States from 2002 to 2012: differences by sex, age, and race/ethnicity.

yes

Text

In adjusted analyses, females were more likely to perceive a great risk associated with regular cannabis use than males, which is congruent with previous findings assessing higher risk perceptions for cannabis and tobacco use (Thorton et al., 2013). Additionally, participants of non-White race/ethnicities were more likely than Whites to perceive great risk of regular cannabis use. Participants between the ages of 18 and 25 were less likely than the youngest group (ages 12–17) to perceive great risk of regular cannabis use, and as has been found in previous research (Thornton et al., 2013), older individuals were more likely than the youngest participants to perceive great risk of use.
