Adult-use cannabis legalization
Adult-use cannabis legalization refers to the legal permission for adults, typically aged 21 and over, to purchase, possess, and consume cannabis for recreational purposes. This process often involves creating regulations governing sales, ensuring product safety, and establishing taxation on cannabis products. Legalizing adult-use cannabis can reduce illegal market activities, generate tax revenue, and allow for responsible use and education about cannabis. Different regions may have varying laws, but the overall goal is to regulate cannabis similarly to alcohol or tobacco, balancing personal freedom with public health and safety considerations.
