		| Based on panel data for US states for the period 2000-2015 we find significant evidence that medical marijuana laws reduce the percentage of families with children living in a state where the law was passed. This suggests that the legalization of medical marijuana can be a source of disamenities and produce unintended effects in terms of household decisions. |
