Responsible Marijuana Sales Practices to Reduce the Risk of Selling to Intoxicated Customers

United States229 participantsStarted 2024-01-15

Plain-language summary

The new recreational marijuana markets are contributing to polysubstance-impaired driving and other harms, especially when marijuana is used in combination with alcohol, by selling marijuana to obviously-intoxicated customers. In this study, the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce the risk of marijuana sales to obviously-intoxicated customers will be tested in the state-licensed recreational marijuana market in Oregon, one of the first states to ban such sales. The intervention will combine efforts by state regulators to increase deterrence of the state law prohibiting marijuana sales to obviously-intoxicated customers with training of store personnel to recognize signs of intoxication and refuse sales. It will also include testing the rate at which visibly intoxicated customers are refused alcohol at nearby establishments that sell alcohol either on-site or off-site
