Recreational Marijuana Legalization

Recreational marijuana legalization means that adults are legally allowed to buy, possess, and use marijuana for non-medical purposes. This change shifts enforcement from criminal penalties to regulated markets, often including licensing systems, quality controls, and taxes. It aims to reduce illegal sales, generate revenue, and reflect changing social attitudes. However, regulations vary by jurisdiction, and legal use typically has age restrictions and limits on quantity. Overall, it transforms marijuana from an illegal drug into a legal commodity, with new rules designed to ensure safety and responsible use.
