cannabis legalization bills

Cannabis legalization bills are laws proposed or enacted to regulate the use and sale of marijuana. They typically aim to establish legal frameworks for possessing, growing, distributing, and taxing cannabis, often for recreational or medicinal purposes. These bills address age restrictions, licensing for businesses, quality safeguards, and criminal justice reforms related to past cannabis offenses. The goal is to replace illegal markets with a regulated industry, generate tax revenue, and ensure public safety and health. Legalization varies by jurisdiction, influencing how cannabis is controlled and integrated into society.
