abstract="In a study recently published by the journal,(1) we found that the legalization of medical marijuana was associated with a lower risk of suicide among young adult males. Harris et al. take us to task for having interpreted this association as evidence that marijuana &quot;protects against suicide. Our response to Harris et al.'s well-meaning, but misguided, critique is twofold. First, we did not interpret this association as evidence that marijuana protects against suicide. We simply noted that our results are consistent with the hypothesis that marijuana helps individuals cope with stressful life events.&quot; (Am J Public Health.
