US State Cannabis Policy Bundles Dataset.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cannabis policies across the U.S. states vary considerably, and we categorize state data into three policy bundles: pharmaceutical, permissive, and fiscal. Each of the bundles is comprised of twelve constituent policies that reflect the dimensions of state cannabis policy. Factor analysis confirmed the three policy dimensions, and the bundles for each state in each year were transformed to range from 0 to 100. This results in two datasets - one with the original 36 dichotomous policy indicators and one with the three policy bundles for each state from 1994 to 2023. The bundles provide researchers with data to understand the effects of cannabis legalization on myriad policy outcomes (e.g., public health or crime). The bundles capture significant variation in policy design cross-sectionally between the states and within the states over time. This provides an advancement over studies that treat legalization as a dichotomy, thus ignoring variation in policy design that is inherently related to impacts of interest, such as health, crime, and social outcomes.
