A Guide to Understanding THC Consumption, Potency, and MeasurementIn an era where marijuana legalization is rapidly reshaping social norms, Determining Marijuana Use in the Age of Legalization is a must-read for health professionals, counselors, policymakers, and anyone seeking clarity in the murky waters of cannabis consumption.
Marijuana is no longer just a bag of unknown potency sold in the shadows—it’s now a regulated industry with dispensaries offering a wide variety of products, from edibles to vapes. But how do we measure marijuana consumption in a meaningful way? How do we determine what constitutes moderate, excessive, or problematic use when THC potency varies dramatically across different products? Unlike alcohol, where standardized measurements exist, marijuana lacks a universal framework for quantifying use.
This book provides a practical system to measure THC consumption, offering a science-based approach that helps:
Clinicians and counselors assess marijuana use levels in their clients with accuracy.
Public health professionals establish clear guidelines for responsible consumption.
Individuals and educators understand how different products impact the body.
Policymakers navigate the complex landscape of legalization with data-driven insights.
With real-world examples, easy-to-follow calculations, and a breakdown of industry myths and biases, Determining Marijuana Use in the Age of Legalization bridges the gap between legal cannabis and informed public health practices. If you're looking for a straightforward, no-nonsense guide to understanding modern marijuana use, this book is your essential resource.
