Randy’s Resolution

HCONRES 87, "Randy’s Resolution," is a non-binding congressional resolution recognizing rising health concerns linked to high-potency marijuana. It urges federal agencies like the NIH and CDC to research health effects - particularly for youth - and support public education programs about risks like increased psychosis risk at THC levels above 15%. The resolution also calls for collaboration between governments and health experts to develop evidence-based policies addressing high-potency marijuana use, which has seen a 287% potency increase since 1995 and correlates with rising teen usage and mental health issues. It does not create new laws but directs federal action toward research and education.
