Washington, August 25, 2022 — New Frontier Data (https://newfrontierdata.com), the leader in actionable cannabis data and business intelligence, in partnership with Verde Compliance Partners, releases Federal Cannabis Policy: Facilitating Successful Regulation, identifying the primary goals of U.S. federal cannabis regulations and potential policy solutions.
The report identifies four main goals:
- Diminishing the illicit market: Implementation of federal legalization should diminish the size of the illicit market. However, much depends on transitioning people and businesses from an unregulated market to the legal one.
- Improved public health and safety: An unregulated marketplace is rife with concerns about product safety.
- Lifting the burden of inequitable prohibition enforcement: Among key disagreements between lawmakers regarding federal cannabis policy is the extent to which it should address longstanding systemic racism conveyed through the criminal justice system on behalf of the War on Drugs.
- Job creation and tax revenue: Meeting the goals for job creation and tax revenues require more than a framework for a regulated industry; they compel addressing the unique barriers to small cannabis businesses, and those stakeholders aspiring to establish themselves and thrive in a highly regulated arena.
“Federal cannabis legalization, regulation and policy is more complex than it appears on the surface,” said Gary Allen, New Frontier Data’s CEO. “The U.S. has a long, complicated history with cannabis that must be accounted for and addressed in ways that create equitable operating environments for all cannabis stakeholders. By providing four main goals of federal cannabis regulation and accompanying policy solutions, we believe conversations can advance substantively.”
