Franklin and Grand Isle Counties have decreased annually since 2012. This is due to normalization of marijuana use and now legalization will further affect these numbers. 

In Vermont, the use of marijuana on one or two days and three to nine days have both decreased since 2011, suggesting a general shift towards regular marijuana use instead of more casual use.  Marijuana use has been legalized in Vermont, effective 7/1/18, which is likely to decrease perception of risk and increase use and frequency of use.¹

Vermont adults who recently used marijuana are generally more likely to have poor health, compared with those who have not used marijuana. Particularly striking are differences in reported poor mental health between recent and non‐recent marijuana users and regular and non‐regular users.  Recent and regular marijuana users are more than twice as likely to report poor mental health than their non/less frequent marijuana user counterparts.   These differences are statistically significant and remain when age is accounted for.¹

Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for marijuana users; continued legal sanctions on possession and use of marijuana.
