We then examined types and frequencies of data sources, analytic techniques, methodological approaches, and subject matters. Findings demonstrate tha…

Another common argument was that marijuana was associated with Mexican immigrants. Conversely, other researchers have argued that these reports were overblown and media accounts of marijua…
