Cannabis legalization

Cannabis legalization removes criminal prohibitions on specified cannabis activities, often permitting regulated production and sale. Its scope varies by jurisdiction, substance, and activity.

Cannabis regulation: Rules governing cannabis production, distribution, sale, possession, and use. Legal markets require rules defining who may produce and sell cannabis.
Cannabis use disorder: A pattern of cannabis use that causes clinically significant impairment or distress. Changes in access and use are relevant to assessing potential health effects.
Cannabis in Canada: The legal, commercial, and social context of cannabis in Canada. Canada established nationwide legal adult-use sales under federal legislation in 2018.
Medical cannabis: Cannabis permitted for therapeutic use under medical laws or regulations. Medical access can be legal while adult nonmedical use remains prohibited.
Cannabis licensing: Government authorization for businesses or individuals to conduct specified cannabis activities. Licenses determine which producers and retailers can operate legally.
Cannabis and driving: The effects of cannabis on driving ability and the laws addressing impaired driving. Legal markets raise questions about impairment, testing, and traffic safety.
Cannabis in Uruguay: The legal framework and regulated cannabis supply system in Uruguay. Uruguay created a nationally regulated adult-use system in 2013.
Cannabis rescheduling: Changing cannabis's classification within a controlled-substances legal schedule. Rescheduling may alter restrictions without legalizing the full range of cannabis activities.
Cannabis taxation: Taxes imposed on cannabis production, wholesale transactions, or retail sales. Tax design affects legal prices, public revenue, and competition with illicit sellers.
Illicit cannabis market: The production and distribution of cannabis outside legal regulatory systems. Its persistence can reveal whether legal supply competes effectively on price and access.
