    About this ebook

    Colorado. Washington. Oregon. California. Since 2012 nine states and DC have legalized cannabis, with more states to follow. Already a $9.7 billion dollar industry creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs, legal cannabis is not only one of the fastest growing industries, but it is changing the dynamics of American society. Peter M. Birkeland shines a sociological lens on the relevant issues of legal cannabis and investigates the most pressing issues. Who are the cannabis industry participants and consumers? What are the costs in running a marijuana business and how much money is generated? What are the challenges in creating a regulatory framework? What has happened to crime, teenage use, and the black market? Birkeland, through firsthand experience and research, traces the evolution of the cannabis industry and uncovers the challenges operators, regulators, and consumers face in the quest to carry out sales of a federally illegal product.
