420 with CNW — Agency Head Admits No Evidence Links Occasional Cannabis Use to Harm

The road to legalizing cannabis in America has been long and tedious. Even with dozens of states now allowing medical and recreational marijuana, cannabis reform activists are still fighting. One of the toughest hurdles they have faced so far is the stigma generated from decades of anticannabis propaganda and prohibition. Cannabis legalization opponents argued that, among other things, cannabis would increase drug use among the youth, boost criminal activity, and cause a general decline in society. However, several studies on the relationship between cannabis legalization, public health, and criminal activity have revealed that these fears were largely unfounded. During a…

The state-legal cannabis industry is in a precarious position. With that in mind, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) has offered guidance on how businesses can develop cannabis policies that adhere to state regulations but reduce the risk of impaired driving. While federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule I substance with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse, 36 states have legalized medical cannabis and 19 states allow recreational use. On top of that, there is still no accurate way to test for THC. The level of THC in the bloodstream doesn’t always…

Cannabis tourism in the United States was just starting to pick up steam before the coronavirus pandemic struck. More than a dozen states had already legalized recreational cannabis and tourists, especially from countries without legal adult-use cannabis markets, were eager to sample recreational cannabis during their visits. However, as the virus started to spread around the world, the United States closed its borders to international travel as Americans prepared for a long period of self-isolation. More than a year and a half later, America began opening its borders to the world. Unsurprisingly, this has caused an uptick in the number…
