RAND Corporation — Research for Vermont
Open Philanthropy, 2014
Abstract
In response to a legislative mandate in Vermont, the RAND Corporation conducted a comprehensive study on the potential consequences of marijuana legalization in the state. The report, primarily aimed at policymakers, provided insights and analyses in respect to different facets of marijuana regulation. Initial funding was insufficient to cover the production of this report. Consequently, an additional grant amounting to $103,000 was awarded by Good Ventures to the RAND Corporation, ensuring the expertise and resources required for the report’s successful completion. The content is expected to aid in crafting marijuana policy not only in Vermont but also in other states interested in such policy reform. A post-script notes that although the report has been released, the analysis of its impact on marijuana policy has not yet been undertaken and will depend on the future interest in this reform area. – AI-generated abstract.
