This clustered bar chart shows values for the three developmental groups for each of three marijuana outcomes. First, 29.2% of early adolescents (age 12–14) reported that marijuana was easy to get, as compared to 67.1% of late adolescents (age 15–17) and 75.3% of young adults (age 18–25). Only 2.2% of early adolescents reported past month marijuana consumption, compared to 11.9% of late adolescents and 19.1% of young adults. Only 2.6% of early adolescents reported past year initiation of marijuana use, compared to 7.7% of late adolescents and 3.1% of young adults. All differences were statistically significant.
