Medical Marijuana and the Need for Regulation

The paper explores the complexities surrounding medical marijuana legalization, highlighting the ongoing conflict between state and federal laws. As more states adopt legalization, challenges such as the proliferation of dispensaries, increased doctor referrals, and taxation issues arise. Proposed solutions include establishing a streamlined system for registration and distribution, as well as implementing effective taxation. The author argues for the decriminalization of medical marijuana at the federal level to resolve these ongoing issues and create a coherent regulatory framework.
