Applying What We Know – Looking at “IF” Government Regulation and Expenditures 1.Rely on and protect local control – allow local governments to require a local license of business permit and to impose additional regulations and restrictions that are stricter than state controls. 2.Place primary responsibility for state marijuana regulation in the California Department of Public Health, with substantial responsibility delegated to local departments of public health. 3.Ensure adequate revenues for enforcing state and local regulations, monitoring industry activities, evaluating the impact of marijuana legalization, and funding effective prevention, treatment and educational programs.

Applying What we Know from Alcohol: Regulating Marijuana Sales and Marketing 1.Establish age 21-year marijuana furnishing, use, and possession law. 2.Strictly enforce the age 21 marijuana furnishing, use, and possession law with a primary focus on adult providers. 3.Limit sale of products that are attractive to young people or put them at heightened risk of harm. 4.Restrict marketing, advertising practices that appeal to youth. 5.Keep marijuana prices artificially high, although not too high to foster underground markets and illegal cultivation. 6.Strictly limit number, type, location and sales practices of retail outlets. 7.Ensure product quality and environmental protection, deter public nuisance activities, and limit cultivation, distribution and sales.
