Estimates based on model that controls for parental education, the interaction of parental education and race, gender, class size, public versus private school, and state level covariates including state passage of a medical marijuana law before 2006, state passage of a medical marijuana between 2006 and 2015, population density, percent male, percent white, percent in ages 10 to 24, and percent with no high school education.
