How Legalization Changed Cannabis: A Look at Use, Products & Public Health

What has been the impact of cannabis legalization in Canada? Join Dr. David Hammond, Professor and University Research Chair in Public Health at the University of Waterloo, as he delivers a data-driven overview of the impacts of cannabis legalization five years after implementation. This keynote explores how legalization has reshaped consumption patterns, product potency, market dynamics, and public health outcomes. Dr. Hammond dives deep into key questions: Are Canadians moving to the legal market? How have cannabis products evolved, with skyrocketing THC levels and a rise in processed products like vapes and edibles? What lessons can we learn from Quebec's stricter public health approach? He also challenges assumptions around advertising, pricing, youth consumption, and consumer knowledge about THC potency. This presentation is essential viewing for anyone involved in public health, policy, cannabis regulation, research, or industry advocacy. Whether you're curious about the future of cannabis policy, concerned about public health impacts, or wondering how Canada's model compares globally, this talk offers evidence-based insights that cut through the noise. Dr. David Hammond, University of Waterloo, presents 'Cannabis legalization in Canada: the impact of cannabis policies within a regulated market' at the 2023 Innovations in the Science of Cannabis Conference. --- The Michael G.
