  • Conflicting Narratives on the 26 May 2016 Toronto Police Raid on Cannabis Shops
    Thaddeus Müller University of Lancaster, UK Cannabis, Moral Entrepreneurship, and Stigma: Conflicting Narratives on the 26 May 2016 Toronto Police Raid on Cannabis Shops DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1733-8077.15.2.10 Abstract On May 26, 2016, the police raided 43 cannabis dispensaries in Toronto, Canada, making 90 arrests. This article aims to describe the narrative of the responsible state agencies concerning the police raid and compare it to the narrative of those who opposed it, such as activists, as well as consumers and sellers of cannabis. While such concepts as moral entrepreneur, moral panic, and moral crusade have traditionally been used to study those in power, I will employ them to explore both the state narrative and ways in which counterclaims-makers resisted it. In order to do so, I will further develop the concept of moral entrepreneurship and its characteristics by relating it to studies of moral panics and social problems. This article will be guided by the following question: How did each party socially construct its cannabis narrative, and in what way can we use the concept of moral entrepreneurship to describe and analyze these narratives as social constructions? I have investigated the media coverage of the raid and ethno- graphically studied shops in Toronto in order to study the narratives. My findings show that both parties used a factual neutral style, as well as a dramatizing style. The later includes such typical crusading strategies as constructing victims and villains and presenting the image of a dystopian social world. In order to explain the use of these strategies, we will relate them to the shifting wider social and historical context and to the symbolic connotation of cannabis shops in Toronto in particular and in Canada as a whole.

  • Jodie and Marc Emery
    Jodie and Marc Emery Jodie (CAN, 1985) and Marc Emery (CAN, 1958) are currently one of the best-known celebrity cannabis couples in the world, thanks to their dedicated activism and tireless campaigning, even in the face of extreme adversity. Marc Emery’s career as a counterculture icon who made an impact on mainstream as well as underground politics began in 1975, when he left high school early to open a second-hand bookshop in his native Ontario, Canada. Re-naming it City Lights Bookshop, Emery established it as a base for like-minded people to connect, as well as obtain supressed or forbidden literature, including information about cannabis. He retained the shop until 1992, moving to Vancouver two years later to open another shop, Hemp BC, which specialized in cannabis paraphernalia, at the time illegal to sell in Canada. Later in 1992, Marc Emery attended the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam and was inspired by a speech given by Ben Dronkers during the closing ceremony, explaining that Dronkers had been responsible for disseminating millions of seeds, thereby creating millions and millions of cannabis plants. Emery realized immediately that this was the best way to achieve a peaceful revolution. Just months later, at the end of 1994, Hemp BC was stocking a selection of Dutch cannabis seeds. By 2002, despite his businesses being repeatedly sabotaged by police raids, Emery had transferred his energies to internet activities and mail-order sales of cannabis seeds. In an interview from that year, he said "Unlike most other seed dealers, I use my real name and I'm easy to find.

The filmmakers visit locations such as California, Oregon, Washington and Washington, D.C. where cannabis medicine is being regulated for patients. Many interviews were made at Seattle's Hempfest 2010 and at recent NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) conferences. NORML has advocated the decriminalization of cannabis for over 40 years. Its founder, current leaders and nationwide chapter representatives describe the patchwork of state and municipal laws that allow medical marijuana, while the federal government still regards cannabis as a dangerous narcotic.

  • The Emergence of the Cannabis Act: a Case Study
    The emergence of the Cannabis Act: A case study by Ashley Braun B.A. (Hons.), University of the Fraser Valley, 2017 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Criminology Faculty of Arts and Sciences © Ashley Braun 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Ashley Braun Degree: Master of Arts Title: The emergence of the Cannabis Act: A case study Examining Committee: Chair: Bryan Kinney Associate Professor Neil Boyd Senior Supervisor Professor Martin Bouchard Supervisor Professor M-J Milloy External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of Medicine University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: April 12, 2019 ii Abstract This case study identifies the key factors that preceded the introduction of the Cannabis Act, using newspaper articles from the Globe and Mail between January 1, 2000 and April 14, 2017. It develops a chronology of cannabis-related events that influenced the social, political, or legal nature of cannabis, and categorizes other stories into five major themes: judicial decisions, medical regulations, commercial industry, international developments, and public opinion. Analysis reveals three key findings that set the stage for legalization, including the government’s failure to create a constitutionally sound cannabis access program, Colorado and Washington’s legal precedent, and a ballooning commercial industry. Law reform benefits, such as product quality, accessibility, and tax revenue are discussed and contrasted with several limitations of the Act, including consumption-related risks, criminal penalties, and ongoing stigma.

  • Black Market to Blue Chip the Futures of the Cannabis Industry in Canada
    Black Market to Blue Chip The Futures of the Cannabis Industry in Canada By Calla Lee Submitted to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in Strategic Foresight and Innovation Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April, 2018 © Calla Lee, 2018 Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP. This is a true copy of the MRP, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I authorize OCAD University to lend this MRP to other institutions or individu- als for the purpose of scholarly research. I understand that my MRP may be made electronically available to the public. I further authorize OCAD University to reproduce this MRP by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Calla Lee ii Abstract The world is changing its mind on cannabis, and we are not in the same world we were in 1923 when Can- ada first made marijuana illegal to smoke. Culture, technology, knowledge, and people have changed. We have a lot more research, seen first-hand how cannabis can help and hurt people, and heard other’s similar and different stories. How do we apply what we’ve learned about strategy, business, and design to turn a prohibition policy into a regulatory framework? Legalization of cannabis in Canada has been delayed to after August, if all things go smoothly and there are no ad- ditional setbacks. Legalization creates a unique opportunity for Canada to become a global leader in innovation, policy, research, and regulation.
