SOC 135 Lecture Notes - Big Tobacco, New Approach, Intraocular Pressure
Document Summary
The new model for a health first approach . Canada approached the creation of the production, management, and distribution with a public-health lens. Argument against the new approach : their argument, essentially: the streets were quiet now, but in short order, big. Thc in some form edible, smokable, vapeable, topical, insertable might feature vending machines or ads for weed. A major concern : but there is concern about perverse incentives in the industry, as have been seen over the decades with tobacco and alcohol, where roughly 80 percent of the product goes to. 20 percent of the users: for these people, overuse is somewhere between a concern and a serious problem. The critical balance: so the critical balance of effective marijuana policy is to incentivize producers to make enough to meet demand, but not to substantially grow the market. Marijuana legislation : prohibition: production, sale, possession, and use of marijuana are illegal and subject to criminal penalty (imprisonment), nu"man.
