Utilizing the Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey from 2005 to 2019, I study spending on food and alcohol following recreational marijuana law (RML). Exploiting differences in the timing of the passage of RMLs and employing two-way fixed-effects methods, I find that households located in states adopting these laws increase their quarterly spending on food, which is driven mainly by spending on food consumed away from home. Legalization of recreational marijuana also leads to increased quarterly spending on alcohol. These findings suggest a complementarity between food, alcohol, and marijuana.
利用 2005 年至 2019 年的消费者支出访谈调查，我研究了娱乐大麻合法化（RML）后食品和酒类消费的支出情况。利用 RML 通过时间的差异，并采用双向固定效应方法，我发现通过这些法律的州的家庭增加了他们的季度食品支出，这主要是由在家以外消费的食品支出驱动的。娱乐大麻合法化也导致了酒类季度支出的增加。这些发现表明了食品、酒精和大麻之间具有互补性。
