> it only speculates that the increase in availability will increase the incidence of these actions.
1 - not sure there will be an increase in availability. I don't know if it's always the case, but where I live, any kid can find weed easily. Ironically, it may be more difficult for adults!
2 - My understanding is that kids in the netherlands (where cannabis can be legally bought) don't consume more cannabis that those from neighbor countries.

This has been my experience. When I was at university there was cannabis everywhere, it was relatively cheap, and finding someone that was willing to sell to you was very easy. When I left university and started working (even still living near the same university) my schedule would have made it more difficult to obtain (as the hours where I was awake did not often overlap with the hours of my friends who smoked pot or would be willing to provide it). Now it is even more difficult to obtain (having moved across town) because everybody I knew that used cannabis have stopped because they're in a career that drug tests and everyone else that sells it would want some sort of a reference (which I don't have).
