14. ABSTRACT
Divergent federal and state marijuana laws will necessitate future Army enlistment policy changes. Eighteen states are projected to make recreational marijuana legal by the year 2020. Studies correlate an increase in adolescent usage in states with legalized recreational and medical marijuana. Additionally, the percentage of youth that are fit to serve in the military under current policy continues to decline. Youth capable of serving make up only twenty-five percent of the recruiting age population. These trends foretell recruiting challenges the Army will face the next time growth is required for a conventional conflict. This paper studies trends, past polices, and the social landscape to shape future policy recommendations for pre-enlistment marijuana use. The recommendations are applicable throughout the Department of Defense as well as federal agencies with marijuana related accession policies.
