In some U.S. states, laws prohibit sales of recreational marijuana to intoxicated customers to prevent associated harms. In alcohol markets, training in responsible sales practices is one intervention to help reduce such sales to intoxicated customers. Similar training may be beneficial in the recreational cannabis market. An online responsible marijuana vendor (RMV) training was developed. Among its five modules, learning elements taught store personnel to recognize signs of alcohol impairment and intoxication, refuse sales, and understand the risks of driving under the influence of cannabis. A sample of n=150 recreational cannabis stores in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington State, USA were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial, half of which were randomly assigned to use the RMV training. Stores were posttested using a pseudo-customer protocol in which confederate buyers feigned obvious signs of alcohol intoxication. Deterrence of sales to intoxicated customers does not seem to exist, regardless of whether the states’ laws prohibit it. Only 16 of 146 stores (11.0%; 4 Oregon stores were eliminated that were not in business). There was no difference in refusal rates between intervention (11.6% [3.9%]) and control stores (7.6% [3.1%], F=0.71, p=0.401 [1-tailed]) or between stores that used the RMV training (6.3% [4.0%]) or not (12.0% [5.7%], F=0.91, p=0.343 [2-tailed]). In 11 visits, store personnel commented on the buyers’ behavior, or expressed concern/suspicion about buyers, but sold to them anyway. Training in responsible sales practices alone did not appear to reduce sales to apparently alcohol-intoxicated customers. Legal deterrence from making these sales may be insufficient or nonexistent for store management to support adherence to this responsible sales practice. Regulatory and policy actions may be needed to increase perceived risk with such sales (i.e., clear policy and swift, severe, and certain penalties) to achieve training’s benefits.
