Marijuana Data Collection Act

The Marijuana Data Collection Act (S. 1456) would direct the Department of Health and Human Services to partner with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study on the impacts of state-level marijuana legalization. This research would examine the effects of both medicinal and recreational legalization on public health, safety, the economy, and the workforce. By centralizing data from various federal and state agencies, the bill aims to provide citizens and policymakers with objective, data-driven information regarding the practical consequences of legal cannabis across the United States.
