Legalization of marijuana debate moving away from medical need


 

EXPERT ANALYSIS FROM APA


“We have to ask ourselves, is America ready for a cannabis commercial during the Super Bowl?” Dr. Hershberger said. He believes that an important trade-off exists for risks regardless of the degree to which marijuana is legalized.

“We have to approach this in the context of our current reality,” Dr. Carlson agreed. He, like Dr. Hershberger, cautioned that there are no simple answers.

Dr. Hershberger and Dr. Carlson reported no potential conflicts of interest.
