New research at the University of Illinois shows Illinois teens who live in ZIP codes with medical cannabis dispensaries are less likely to use the drug. In a statewide survey, 18-percent of the youths living in Illinois ZIP codes with medical dispensaries reported they used cannabis during the prior year. That is compared with 22-percent of those who lived in ZIP codes without these businesses.
