Considering that Marijuana is illegal, this seems impossible to prove.

Show me the development of a teen in a society where open marijuana consumption is a non-issue to compare against.

Right - you can't use drug tests to unfairly weed people out of employment, then list drugs as the cause of unempoyment and poor life outcomes.
