Stan Glantz video lecture: “A Public Health Framework for Legalized Retail Marijuana: Avoiding a New Tobacco Industry”

I gave a 45 minute lecture at the UC Sacramento Center on November 1, 2017 on “A Public Health Framework for Legalized Retail Marijuana: Avoiding a New Tobacco Industry.”  You can view the lecture here and get copies of the slides and a policy brief here.

The lecture was most informative and provides a clear warning about what not to do when it comes to regulating legalization. In Illinois,which only has medical marijuana,  the way the legalization issue is framed is to ask voters whether they favor legalizing and regulating marijuana like alcohol.  It would be far preferable to ask if it should be legal and regulated like tobacco.
