KEY MARIJUANA FACTS
Today’s marijuana is more potent than the
marijuana of the 1970s
Health impacts and social costs of
legalization are largely unknown
Perception of marijuana as harmful has
decreased
Marijuana is most harmful to adolescents,
whose brains are still developing

MJ Consumption in Legal States
SmokingJoints, bowls, bongs
Vaping I.e., e-cigarettes filled
with hash oil, not liquid nicotine
DabbingA dab of wax or
shatter is placed on a heated surface, vaporizing the concentrate which is then inhaled

MJ Consumption in Legal States
Edibles, “infused” products
Baked goods, candies,
drinks, etc.
Tinctures
Liquid concentrate that
can be dropped on or
under the tongue, or in
food or drink
![Page 9: MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION Cooke CCC April 2018.… · Include Wax (or Earwax) Like hash oil but with a waxy consistency Include Shatter THC content up to 90% Semi-transparent, yellow](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050608/5faeedf7ef82937afc2c816c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Edibles are Different!
Users expect effects experienced with inhaled
THC, BUT . . .
Onset of effects is delayed for edibles
Effect of edibles is stronger than people
realize
Edibles create a longer high then expected
THC with no CBD can cause extreme
paranoia
Edibles are attractive to naive users, tourists

CREATING HEALTHY
NORMS AROUND
MARIJUANA
![Page 11: MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION Cooke CCC April 2018.… · Include Wax (or Earwax) Like hash oil but with a waxy consistency Include Shatter THC content up to 90% Semi-transparent, yellow](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050608/5faeedf7ef82937afc2c816c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Creating a Healthy Normative
Environment: Policy Choices Matter
The more MJ is seen like tobacco or
alcohol, as a substance that has health
consequences, the better the chance of
mitigating harmful impacts to individuals.
Likewise, enforcement of criminal laws,
such as underage use and driving while
impaired, mitigates community impacts.
![Page 12: MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION Cooke CCC April 2018.… · Include Wax (or Earwax) Like hash oil but with a waxy consistency Include Shatter THC content up to 90% Semi-transparent, yellow](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050608/5faeedf7ef82937afc2c816c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MJ Codes Promoting a Healthy
Normative Environment
Legislate hours of operation, transportation
Ensure that you will have responsible operators by requiring business insurance, operating plans, neighborhood responsibility plans, character & background checks for owners and employees
Consider restrictions/prohibitions on business signage, advertising, promotional materials

Limits on Personal Possession, Use of MJ
Promote a Healthy Normative Environment
Restrictions on amounts one
person/house can possess or cultivate
(1 oz, 6 plants)
Restrictions on public use, including
general restrictions on smoking/vaping
of all substances
CO’s DUID law: 5 ng THC = presumed
impaired

MJ Laws re: Packaging
Promote Safe Use
RMJ must be labeled:
“Contains MJ,” potency,
health risks
RMJ must be packaged in
a sealed container; in
some cases opaque child-
resistant containers
Edibles may not look like
candy that is designed for
consumption by children,
e.g., gummy bears
For edibles, each
unit/serving can include
no more than 10 mg THC
![Page 15: MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION Cooke CCC April 2018.… · Include Wax (or Earwax) Like hash oil but with a waxy consistency Include Shatter THC content up to 90% Semi-transparent, yellow](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050608/5faeedf7ef82937afc2c816c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Establish Safe Product Standards
Require testing for pesticides, molds, bacteria
Require testing for THC & CBD levels
Consider limiting the potency of hash oil, shatter, wax, dab

Local legislation
can supplement
state regulations
that are not
sufficiently robust

THC + ALCOHOL
Both CNS Depressants
Additive, possible synergistic effect
▪ Additive: 1 + 1 = 2
▪ Synergistic: 1 + 1 = 5
Very low levels of both can cause major impairment
▪ 0.035 BAC (under the legal limit) + low doses of THC ≈ 0.09 – 0.14 BAC level of impairment (above the legal limit)

The Bottom Line:
The sky has not fallen
Good regulation goes a long way
Monitor data and anecdotal
reports for trends; respond quickly
Dedicate resources to prevention,
treatment, and other social costs
Many impacts remain unknown
