Marijuana Legalization: What You Need to Know

We cannot make policy decisions based on Five Years of data and just say: oh well, we have the final answer. But very concerning what we're seeing in the research, this is probably the biggest study, maybe one of the biggest studies we've seen on marijuana ever.
Think you know everything about marijuana legalization? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of 'Prevent This!', Luke Niforatos, Executive Vice President of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, dives into the often misunderstood world of legalized marijuana. Luke brings to light some startling facts and figures that may change how you view this controversial topic. Did you know today's marijuana can be up to 99% THC, compared to just 5% during the Woodstock era?
It's not just about getting high; it's about understanding the real impacts on mental health, secondhand smoke, and even impaired driving. Luke doesn't shy away from tough questions, like whether legalization actually reduces prison populations or how it affects workplaces. He also sheds light on the commercialization and marketing tactics used by the marijuana industry. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to make informed decisions about marijuana policy.
Whether you're for or against legalization, Luke's insights will give you plenty to think about. So, grab your headphones and get ready to separate fact from fiction in the complex world of marijuana legalization.
