Cannabis Control and Regulation

Cannabis control and regulation refer to the policies and laws governing the production, distribution, sale, and use of cannabis (marijuana). These regulations aim to ensure public safety, limit illegal activities, and manage health risks associated with cannabis use. Governments establish rules that cover aspects like age restrictions, licensing for businesses, quality testing, and taxation. The goal is to balance legal access for adults, often for recreational or medicinal use, while preventing misuse and protecting vulnerable populations, similar to how alcohol and tobacco are regulated.
