The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

Four U.S. states — Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania — stand a good chance at legalizing recreational cannabis this year. There’s also a slim chance of efforts being successfully voted on in the Carolinas, Indiana, and New Hampshire. Advocates are pushing harder for cannabis reform after achieving mixed results during last year’s midterm elections , which saw two victories (Missouri and Maryland) and three losses (Arkansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota).

During the height of cannabis prohibition, admitting consumption was very risky. Not only was the identity of “cannabis consumer” tied to stereotypes such as laziness , lack of success and ambition and “a motivational syndrome”, it could result in incarceration and the strict collateral sanctions associated with a drug charge. 1 Of course, this risk was more intense for some than for others.

The cannabinoid receptor CB1, primary target of THC in the brain, is known for mediating the cannabis high. And its counterpart CB2, mainly expressed in immune cells throughout the body, is understood to play an important role in inflammatory processes. These abstractions are accurate as far as they go, but as with anything related to the endocannabinoid system, reality is far more complex.

The United Nations (U.N.) drugs control board says legal cannabis has health risks. They’re warning of “negative health effects and psychotic disorders” with legalization. They also worry that legalization violates the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
