Cannabis Laws and Policies Module 1 - Federal, State, and Local Laws For as long as cannabis has been illegal, people have been trying to legalize it. The argument is being made that cannabis consumption is far less harmful than alcohol, which is legal. In this first module, we discuss factors associated with supply, demand, and consumerism. We also define various laws at the federal, state, and local levels.
