Abstract

Academics have recently become interested in the process by which socially controversial behaviors or practices (i.e., gambling, cosmetic procedures, drug use) become acceptable or legitimate. This article examines the “dual legality” of marijuana and its impact on consumer‐related hazards through the lens of current legislation and extant literature. Simply stated, what are the implications of conflicting government policies for consumers' well‐being? The intended contributions of this work are to offer significant insights into an issue of current topical and public policy importance for consumers' interests. Importantly, this work will serve as a foundation for future research on this unique product in its implications for consumers who are fundamentally altering the way in which a product is viewed and regulated.
