Across the United States, 24 states have legalized and regulated marijuana for adult use. Legal markets have reduced arrests that can affect someone’s ability to secure a job or housing, and marijuana tax revenue has been reinvested in communities through funding for parks, housing, treatment, and other supports that communities need.
As marijuana laws continue to evolve, policymakers must also address new and emerging challenges. One growing concern is the increasing availability of high-THC marijuana products.
Our new report, High-THC Marijuana: Protecting Public Health In A Changing Market, explains what high-THC products are, outlines key public health considerations, and offers practical policy recommendations to ensure legal access for adults is preserved and grounded in public health and safety principles.
At the Drug Policy Alliance, we believe legalization must be paired with thoughtful, evidence-based regulation that protects health, enhances safety, and reduces harm.
