The commissioner of health shall engage in research and data collection activities to measure the prevalence of cannabis flower use and the use of cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, and hemp-derived consumer products in the state by persons under 21 years of age and by persons 21 years of age or older, and the trends in hospital-treated cannabis poisoning and adverse events. In order to collect data, the commissioner may modify existing data collection tools used by the department or other state agencies or may establish one or more new data collection tools.
Beginning January 1, 2025, and January 1 every two years thereafter, the commissioner shall issue a public report on the prevalence of cannabis flower use and the use of cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, and hemp-derived consumer products in the state by persons under age 21 and by persons age 21 or older. The report may include recommendations from the commissioner for changes to this chapter that would discourage or prevent personal use of cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, or hemp-derived consumer products by persons under age 21, that would discourage personal use of cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, or hemp-derived consumer products by pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, that would prevent access to cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, or hemp-derived consumer products by young children, or that would otherwise promote public health.
