People in the US states that legalized recreational cannabis use it 20% more frequently than those in states that didn't legalize it, a study suggested.

The study included 111 pairs of identical twins, with one twin living in a state that legalized recreational cannabis and the other in a state that did not. Among the identical twins, researchers found that usage increased in states that legalized recreational cannabis.
