In this edition of  @becausecannabis , B.C. and Dustin engage in an enlightening discussion about the crucial role of political reform in cannabis legalization and business with the Executive Director of Ohio NORML, Simon Dunkle. They highlight how even in states where cannabis is now legal, challenges like differentiating between medical and recreational programs and navigating the legal labyrinth that exists between them persist We explore the metamorphosis of cannabis legalization across different states, the implications for consumers and the industry at large, and the vital role of education in promoting responsible use and informed decisions. We delve into the electing changes in the landscapes of law enforcement and the abundant opportunities the budding cannabis industry offers to entrepreneurs. With legalization, we gain the chance for regulation, which in turn leads to safer use of cannabis and reduced risks associated with unregulated markets. However, the industry faces hurdles in banking, federal laws, and establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework. Our speakers then switch gears to address the rural-urban divide in cannabis regulation. While cities seem ready to accept dispensaries and cannabis businesses, rural areas bring unique needs and concerns that require a balanced regulatory approach to protect community interests. In our discussion, we emphasize the critical role of advocacy organizations in repairing this disparity, shedding light on how continued advocacy ensures that new cannabis laws cater to the needs of consumers while promoting safe access to quality cannabis products and addressing past wrongdoings.
