With new leadership in place, do policymakers have an opportunity to reassess Hungary’s outdated marijuana laws?
For millions of Americans, cannabis freedom is still more of a pipe dream than a reality.
“Massachusetts voters and politicians prefer legalization and regulation over a return to the failed policy of marijuana prohibition.”
“Further delaying legal retail sales is just another page from the prohibitionist playbook, the kind of policy failure Virginians saw under Glenn Youngkin, not what they expect from Abigail Spanberger.”
“In some jurisdictions, cannabis comes with real freedom. In others, it still comes with real consequences,” said NORML Development Director JM Pedini. “This survey is about capturing that gap — not just what the laws say, but how people actually experience them.”
“These results have significant policy implications, particularly with respect to the use of traditional workplace drug testing. It is high-time to abandon these discriminatory methods in favor of performance testing and fit-for-duty testing, which employ measures to assess whether someone is currently under the influence, whether it be from marijuana on anything else.”
“The status quo is not an option. The Council agrees that a well-regulated market … is a safer market.”
“Patients who take traditional medications do not face punishment in the workplace unless their on-the-job performance is impaired. Patients who consume medical cannabis during their off-hours should be treated equally.”
