ARE Project Scientist Dr. Robin Goldstein and ARE Distinguished Professor Daniel A. Sumner Examine the Economics of Legal and Illegal Weed in New Book
May 24, 2022
Cannabis "legalization" hasn't lived up to the hype. Across North America, investors are reeling, tax collections are below projections, and people are pointing fingers. On the business side, companies have shut down, farms have failed, workers have lost their jobs, and consumers face high prices. Why has legal weed failed to deliver on many of its promises?
Goldstein and Sumner's new book "Can Legal Weed Win? The Blunt Realities of Cannabis Economics" takes on the euphoric claims with straight dope and a full dose of economic reality.
