Abstract

Issues related to the legalization of cannabis have significantly increased over the past 25 years. Federal policy has become minimally more flexible but essentially maintains marijuana’s dangerous drug status. Myriad laws and regulations characterize the legal status of cannabis across the US and internationally. Contradictory laws and regulations across states result from a lack of coherent federal policy, thus leaving states to address public health, cannabis industry and consumer pressures. Research prohibition has made public policy development difficult and informed by inadequately supported, restricted science. Consider key issues related to cannabis legalization and distinctions between gradients to access for medical purposes, decriminalization or adult recreational use. To consider the status of cannabis legalization on a state and global basis. A review of the background to cannabis legalization intends to provide insight into cannabis’ current legal status and options being considered for advocacy and policy development. The three major classifications of legalized marijuana are detailed; cannabidiol or hemp and synthetic cannabinoids are considered separately. The status of cannabis within the US and globally has often been discordant with reality and science, and rigid with pressures to effect change. The diversity of state and international laws is significant, even within the same designation into one of the three major classes or cannabidiol. Science-based standardized federal and state laws and regulations to meet the special needs of adolescents and emerging adults must be pursued.

大麻合法化的影响：国家和国际视角。

在过去25年中，与大麻合法化有关的问题显著增加。联邦政策已经变得更加灵活，但基本上保持了大麻的危险药物地位。在美国和国际上，大麻的法律地位有着无数的法律和法规。各州之间相互矛盾的法律法规是由于缺乏连贯的联邦政策，从而使各州不得不应对公共卫生、大麻行业和消费者的压力。禁止研究使公共政策的制定变得困难，而且科学支持不足、受到限制。考虑与大麻合法化有关的关键问题，以及医疗、非刑事化或成人娱乐使用的梯度之间的区别。在国家和全球范围内审议大麻合法化的现状。对大麻合法化背景的审查旨在深入了解大麻的当前法律地位以及正在考虑的宣传和政策制定方案。合法大麻的三大分类是详细的；大麻二酚或大麻和合成大麻素是分开考虑的。大麻在美国和全球的地位往往与现实和科学不一致，也与实现变革的压力不一致。国家和国际法的多样性是重要的，即使在三大类或大麻二酚的同一名称范围内也是如此。必须推行以科学为基础的标准化联邦和州法律法规，以满足青少年和新兴成年人的特殊需求。
