Quality Standards
Quality Standards
Cannabis policy works best when everyone has access to accurate, unbiased information. CORE provides clear, accessible education to help leaders make informed decisions and help communities understand how the industry operates.
Our educational efforts include:
- Briefings and workshops for policymakers
- Community presentations and Q&A sessions
- Public‑facing resources that explain cannabis science, safety, and regulation
- Research summaries that translate complex data into practical insights
We believe education builds trust — and trust builds stronger communities.
Effective Policy
Quality Standards
Effective Policy
CORE supports policies that balance public safety, patient access, and industry sustainability. We work with state agencies, local governments, law enforement and industry partners to promote regulations that are:
- Practical and enforceable
- Grounded in science and real‑world operations
- Designed to protect patients and consumers
- Supportive of responsible business growth
Our goal is to help the industry and government work together, not against each other — because collaboration leads to better outcomes for everyone.

- Bringing clarity to a complex and often misunderstood industry
- Ensuring that safety remains at the center of every conversation
- Helping policymakers craft thoughtful, effective regulations
- Supporting businesses committed to doing things the right way
- Building bridges between the industry and the communities it serves
CORE is here to elevate the conversation, strengthen the industry, and ensure that cannabis in our state is safe, responsible, and rooted in evidence.
