Conclusion

The state-level legalizations of recreational marijuana have presented many concerns about its effect on youth and the college-age population. Using data reported by college campuses, we observe that arrests and disciplinary incidents for drug law violations decreased following the legalization of recreational marijuana. The decreases in arrests after legalization are especially steep at public institutions, four-year institutions, and higher-crime-rate institutions. Additional research exploring these differences could shed light on underlying changes in police employment and focus.

Well, no shit sherlock.
