We make cannabis policy easy to understand

Cannabis is legal. Now what?

Legalization is not a single act – it’s a process. After laws change comes real work. Governments have to set up business regulations. Businesses have to get used to being regulated. And consumers have to learn what safe and responsible use looks like. 

We’re here to help.

Good policy starts with good information.

We publish fact-based information written by cannabis experts to help governments better regulate cannabis and help others understand cannabis policy.

We consult with local, state and national governments as they set up their cannabis regulatory programs, providing recommendations based on lessons learned, best practices and case studies.

Lessons learned, lessons shared

The Cannabis Policy Lab was created by a former cannabis regulator. Our team has worked in the largest cannabis market in the world, and with local, state and national governments across the globe. We’re sharing the resources we wish we had and what we learned to help others.
