- (General Dispatch) – As marijuana is legalized in every state in the country, the debate about establishing policies on the narcotic drug by potency is also increasing.
- In this sense, New York, according to the enactment it made last month, will tax recreational marijuana according to its THC content.
- It should be noted that the substance is mainly represented by the intoxicating chemical cannabis, which is why its regulation contributes to public health because the matter is dangerously concentrated.
- On the contrary, opponents of legalization argue that THC limits will lead people to illicitly market marijuana.
- However, Dr. Rachel Knox assures that the use of cannabis for various conditions does not pose an increased risk of psychosis for people who use the product under strict medical supervision.
- Obviously, the polarization of positions will never allow for a consensus, however, the decision will be left to the judgment of the people.
- The most important thing is that the supply of marijuana has already become part of the legislation of several States of the country, which allows for an exhaustive control of the use of the substance, and will represent a tax revenue for the nation.
- To conclude, each State of the country has the power to formally legalize the supply of marijuana or to prohibit it, this is a rhetoric that remains in the hands of the legislators.
