Fewer soldiers are testing positive for marijuana in two states where recreational use of the drug is legal, an Army study of the issue obtained by The Gazette has found.
The change in Washington and Colorado, where legal pot is available near large Army bases, is small. But it's the reverse of what military leaders said would happen in Colorado Springs with marijuana legalization.
"With one minor exception, the data is trending downwards, though it remains relatively flat and the changes are statistically insignificant," Army spokesman Lt. Col. Justin Platt wrote in an email from the Pentagon.
