By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Cannabis & Marijuana News -- Fresh data on Marijuana/Cannabis - Marijuana Laws are presented in a new report. According to news reporting out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “Cannabis legalization is often falsely depicted as a binary choice between status quo prohibition and legalizing production and distribution by (regulated) for-profit industry.”
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Carnegie Mellon University, “There are, however, many more prudent architectures for legalization, such as restricting production and distribution licenses to not-for-profit entities. Wilkins describes how New Zealand applied that concept to gambling machines and proposes a parallel for cannabis legalization.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Greater investment in proposing good designs along these lines, including attending to governance structures, would be valuable.”
