adult-use legalization

Adult-use legalization refers to laws permitting adults, typically 21 and older, to legally purchase, possess, and consume cannabis for recreational purposes. It involves regulated markets to ensure safety, quality, and proper taxation. This shift from prohibition aims to reduce illegal sales, generate revenue, and regulate public health impacts. While it legalizes recreational use, rules regarding possession limits, licensing of dispensaries, and use restrictions vary by jurisdiction. Overall, adult-use legalization provides a structured, legal framework for responsible consumption by consenting adults.
