Stoneover: The Observed Lessons and Unanswered Questions of Cannabis Legalization delves into the political and social entrepreneurs who advocate for marijuana decriminalization, examining their constituents' attitudes toward legalization, the specific successful reform measures at the state level, and the subsequent market dynamics in cannabis commerce. Each chapter presents a unique dataset, contributing to understanding local and national trends and outcomes of over two decades of cannabis legalization efforts. Through detailed analyses of user data, the contributors address various social issues, including legalization activism in the context of calls to defund the police, the impact of reforms on immigrant communities, the demographic and economic characteristics of legal dispensary customers, medical administrative structures, youth usage, and mortality related to marijuana and other drug use. Stoneover provides policy makers with valuable information for future policy designs aimed at reducing negative externalities and social inequity.
