We established a corporate business intelligence office for planning, reporting and managing information and, on the frontline, we established exchange rooms for planning and reporting on a technical level.

AN EXPRESSIVE THEORY OF TAX Kitty Richards* The tax code is full of ineffective, inefficient, inequitable, or other- wise problematic provisions that make little sense when evaluated through the lens of traditional tax policy analysis, yet remain popular with citizens and legislators alike. The tax literature is equally full of carefully-researched, technically precise, and theoretically sound pro- posals for reform that nonetheless fail to get traction in the public de- bate. Why? What tax scholarship is missing is the importance of social mean- ing: what do our tax laws say about our society's values, and how is taxation being used to construct cultural ideals in contested spaces? This Article applies expressive theory, well developed in the crimi- nal and constitutional law literature, to a series of tax policy puzzles, demonstratinghow attention to social meaning can help to explain other- wise inexplicable behavior by legislators and policymakers, and can al- low scholars to engage more productively in the policy process.

    ALTERED STATES: Cannabis regulation in the US 1 Further reading A Spanish companion report is available from our partners México Unido Contra la Delinceuncia. ‘Modelos de regulación legal del cannabis en Estados Unidos’ which assesses regulatory systems for cannabis retail in the USA state-by-state. Transform has also published a number of other publications on cannabis regulation which we would recommend reading. These include: How to Regulate Cannabis: A Practical Guide Cannabis legalisation in Canada – One year on Capturing the Market: Cannabis regulation in Canada Cannabis legalisation in Uruguay: public health and safety over private profit Cannabis policy in the Netherlands: moving forwards not backwards 2 Contents Moving from a medical market 5 Deciding on a regulation model 7 Granting licences 8 Managing municipalities 10 Level of taxation 12 Limiting products available for purchase 14 Enforcing requirements for packaging, advertising and marketing 15 Removal of criminal records (expungement) 18 Social equity measures 21 Lessons learned 26 3 Introduction Since Colorado and Washington legally regulated cannabis for adult, non-medical use in 2012, nine more US states have followed suit, with more set to follow.1 Many more have legalised medical cannabis only, though these are not the focus of our report. These rapid changes have put the US at the forefront of the global shift toward the legal regulation of cannabis. Despite changes at state level, the cultivation, possession and sale of cannabis remains illegal under federal law. This means states are acting independently, which has resulted in regulation differing considerably across jurisdictions. In effect, a series of natural experiments are taking place, each presenting a different model for how cannabis can be regulated.
