大麻行业有兴趣创造一种以公共健康为代价实现利润最大化的监管环境，类似于烟草、酒精和食品行业。这项研究试图描述随着时间的推移，大麻行业在科罗拉多州立法机构的游说活动。这项回溯性观察性研究分析了2010-2021财年可公开获得的游说支出数据。措施包括资助者和游说者经通胀调整的每月游说支出、资金来源以及游说者对大麻行业客户的描述。该数据集还补充了营业执照文件、立法历史和公开证词。2010-2021财年，大麻行业花费了超过700万美元(经通胀调整)，就367项法案游说科罗拉多州立法机构。超过80万美元(占大麻总支出的11%)来自州外客户。在48%的游说者报告中，游说者没有透露他们的资助者的大麻从属关系，大麻组织使用的策略可能掩盖了真实的资金数额和来源。游说者和机构同时代表酒精、烟草和大麻行业，当利益一致时，可能会促进行业间的联盟。大麻行业专门投入大量资源，代表旨在增加大麻使用量的政策游说科罗拉多州议会。创造大麻产业、相关产业和政策制定者之间关系的透明度，对于确保对大麻产品进行适当监管至关重要。
The cannabis industry has an interest in creating a regulatory environment which maximizes profits at the cost of public health, similar to the tobacco, alcohol, and food industries. This study sought to describe the cannabis industry’s lobbying activities in the Colorado State Legislature over time. This retrospective observational study analyzed publicly available lobbying expenditures data from fiscal years (FY) 2010–2021. Measures included inflation-adjusted monthly lobbying expenditures by funder and lobbyist, origin of funding, and lobbyist descriptions of cannabis industry clients. This dataset was supplemented with business license documentation, legislative histories, and public testimony. The cannabis industry spent over $7 million (inflation adjusted) from FY 2010–2021 to lobby the Colorado legislature on 367 bills. Over $800,000 (11% of total cannabis spending) was from out-of-state clients. In 48% of lobbyist reports lobbyists did not disclose their funder’s cannabis affiliation, and cannabis organizations used strategies that may have obscured the true amount and source of funding. Lobbyists and agencies concurrently represented the alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis industries, possibly facilitating inter-industry alliances when interests align. The cannabis industry dedicated significant resources towards lobbying the Colorado State Legislature on behalf of policies intended to increase cannabis use. Creating transparency about the relationships between the cannabis industry, related industries, and policymakers is essential to ensure appropriate regulation of cannabis products.
