A Guide to Understanding THC Consumption, Potency, and Measurement
In 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.
