Businesses are also trying to take advantage of the holiday. And our company is going to let everyone know about it.
The event has steadily grown over the years, featuring big concerts from notable musicians like Snoop Dogg, Soja, and 2 Chainz, as well as a wide collection of marijuana businesses as sponsors. The Cannabis Cup is only one of many events, which also include comedy shows like Cheech and Chong , marijuana-friendly speed dating, and trade shows for glass pipes and bongs, offering businesses and celebrities various opportunities to push their products and brands.
To many legalizers, this is a sign of their success. But to some drug policy experts and legalizers, this is a cause for alarm. The big concern is that a big marijuana industry will, like the tobacco and alcohol industries, irresponsibly market its drug to kids or users who already consume the drug excessively — with little care for public health and safety over the desire for profits.
To this end, many drug policy experts see alcohol as a warning, not something to be admired and followed for other drugs. For decades, big alcohol has successfully lobbied lawmakers to block tax increases and regulations on alcohol, all while marketing its product as fun and sexy in television programs, such as the Super Bowl, that are viewed by millions of Americans, including children.
Meanwhile, alcohol is linked to 88, deaths each year in the US. All of that could prove bad for public health. Now, the situation almost certainly will not be as bad as alcohol, since alcohol is simply more dangerous than marijuana. Marijuana has never been definitively linked to any serious ailments — not deadly overdoses or lung disease. Given this, the focus for drug policy experts tends to be the risk of addiction and overuse. But these risks are still risks. Our mission has never been more vital than it is in this moment: to empower through understanding.
