Three of six professionals who were selected by the Cabinet to carry out research on the impact of marijuana use on youth, were invited to give an interim report on the structuring of their methodology and presentation of their findings.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The research which the team will conduct is to take into account the change in the law, three years ago, which decriminalized possession of 15 grams of the substance, and allowed for four trees to be grown at homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anecdotal findings that more youth are experimenting with the substance will be determined by scientific approaches and guarantees of confidentiality.<\/p>

The university professor, who is one of the three professionals appearing on Wednesday, will play a major role in designing the methodology.<\/p>
