Turn an illicit product into a highly taxed and regulated one and you have a classic business experiment.
Do it with a little-studied psychoactive substance that has both medical promise and addictive potential and you have a public health trial, too.

Now President Joe Biden is taking steps toward decriminalizing marijuana on the federal level.
