Thursday, July 1, 2021

Dear John,

Discussions around cannabis and health are overlapping more and more.
Two new briefs discuss different aspects of the policy conversation.

Cannabis And Health Policy

Health Affairs published two new policy briefs today, both by Rebecca
Haffajee and Amanda Mauri, about cannabis use policies and legalization
in the United States.

"Cannabis Liberalization In The US: The Policy Landscape
"
discusses how state cannabis policies are inconsistent across
jurisdictions and often conflict with federal policy. The brief outlines
why policy makers should adopt an approach to cannabis liberalization
that addresses these inconsistencies, improves the safety of cannabis
supply, and combats health disparities and other inequities.

"Cannabis Legalization In The US: Population Health Impacts
"
describes the inconsistencies in evidence regarding the effects of
recreational cannabis legalization on public health. The authors outline
future research directions including heterogeneous policy design,
differential effects on population subgroups, and effects related to
characteristics of legal cannabis supply.

The June 2021 GrantWatch column by Lee L. Prina is focused on telehealth
.
She discusses the California Health Care Foundation's Tipping Point for
Telehealth initiative, the establishment of the American Board of
Telehealth and telehealth education programs supported by the Leona M.
and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust's funding, and much more.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Sara Rosenbaum and coauthors discuss how
the history of Section 1115 under the Trump administration

underscores the need for reform.
