The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act (MORE) of 2019

1. Educate the public: It is important to educate the public about the benefits of decriminalizing marijuana. This can be done through public awareness campaigns, media outreach, and educational materials.
2. Monitor the impact: Once the policy change is implemented, it is important to monitor its impact. This will help to ensure that the policy is achieving its intended goals and to identify any unintended consequences.

This model can be implemented by a variety of organizations, such as government agencies, advocacy groups, and businesses. The specific steps that are taken will vary depending on the organization and the context in which the policy change is being implemented.

In the context of nursing, this model could be used to advocate for changes to state and federal laws that restrict the use of medical marijuana by nurses. Nurses could conduct research on the potential benefits of medical marijuana for patients with chronic pain, cancer, and other conditions. They could also engage with stakeholders, such as state legislators and healthcare organizations, to build support for changes to the law. Nurses could also educate the public about the benefits of medical marijuana and the risks of continuing to restrict its use. By taking these steps, nurses can help to ensure that patients have access to safe and effective medical marijuana treatment.

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act (MORE) of 2019 is a bill that would deschedule marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and expunge the records of people who have been convicted of nonviolent marijuana offenses.

One model that could be used to introduce this policy change is the following:

1. Conduct research: The first step would be to conduct research on the potential benefits and risks of decriminalizing marijuana. This research should include an assessment of the impact on public health, crime, and the economy.
2. Engage stakeholders: Once the research is complete, it is important to engage with stakeholders, such as law enforcement, healthcare professionals, and businesses. This will help to build support for the policy change and to address any concerns that may be raised.
3. Develop a plan: Once there is a consensus on the benefits of decriminalizing marijuana, a plan can be developed to implement the policy change. This plan should include a timeline for implementation, as well as strategies for addressing any challenges that may arise.
