Legal History of Cannabis
editEconomic Research
editThere have been multiple programs that were designated to research any health or social costs for the use of marijuana. In 2000, a research experiment started by policy makers launched the Cannabis Youth Treatment where the main focus was to study adolescents use of cannabis compared to adults to see if there was a significant difference between health costs and benefits. This experiment looked at all angles of the issue, by attracting young users and giving them treatment including interventions for the drug users, health insurance and services provided if any adolescents has suffered any drug abuse in order to find what could be the main costs for them.[2]. Though even with as much research contributed to find any issues with the drug, most of these programs have not found much evidence of marijuana's economic costs outweighing benefits in the U.S. So far it only appears that the legalization of marijuana has not been major threat to the economy, but large increases in costs come from enforcement for strict control over the drug [3].

Vietnam and the IMF
editIn 1998, Vietnam was in slow recovery of its economy after the Southeast Asia Economic Crisis. As a member of ASEAN, their best solution was to heavily rely on loans from the IMF. In 2001, Vietnam sent a letter of intent to the IMF to receive a loan to fund the Poverty Reductions and Growth Funds arrangement. In order to create a greater macroeconomic stability for Vietnam they would rely on the monetary policy while under shock scenarios as it has proven to lift off interest rates. Since 2012, the Vietnemese dong closely tied to the U.S. dollar. According to IMF records, Vietnam is still paying that loan and continues their membership with the IMF.
