  • A Bottom up Proposal for a Regulated Cannabis Market
    A BOTTOM UP PROPOSAL FOR A REGULATED CANNABIS MARKET By Joep Oomen, European Coalition for Just and Effective Drug Policies Wellcome and thanks for the invitation…. Encod is convinced that a Europe with peace, prosperity, personal rights and freedoms, effective governance, policies aimed at solving problems and not at creating them, is a Europe where the drugsmarket has been regulated. The lack of a legal framework with regards to drugs is one of the pillars of a system that essentially denies human beings legal access to products (some of them even natural products) which are benefitial to their health, physical or mental. Among the many disasters that prohibition of cannabis and other drugs has produced, maybe the worst is that it has destroyed this access, and instead established a market that is almost entirely driven by economic reasons, without taking into account the rights of consumers and producers. This lack of framework is deliberately maintained so on the one hand, power structures can continue to feed themselves with money gained from desperacy, while on the other, power structures can continue to justify fargoing control and intrusion in people’s private life. Drug prohibition is serving the needs of the elite, and therefore it will not be the elite that will be able to stop it. If we want to replace this policy with a sound and healthy alternative, we need to build it ourselves, bottom up. Since more than a decade, citizens allover Europe have started to use the loopholes in the absurd drug law to create this alternative. Wellcome to the Cannabis Social Club! Cannabis Social Clubs organise the collective cultivation of an amount of cannabis that is exclusively meant for the private consumption of their members.

  • How Higher Education Can Support Cannabis Career Pathways by Becky
    Creating a qualified cannabis workforce: How higher education can support cannabis career pathways by Becky E. Black B.S., California State University Long Beach, 1987 M.A., Phillips Graduate Institute, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Department of Adult Learning and Leadership College of Education KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2020 Abstract Background The popularity of medicinal and recreational cannabis is increasing the need for a trained workforce. The purpose of this study is to examine the workforce needs of the cannabis industry from the perspective of cannabis industry experts. The findings will assist institutions that are providing or plan to offer cannabis academic courses and programs. To meet and respond to the dynamic evolution of the cannabis industry, colleges will need to be nimble or find ways to be nimble. Methods This qualitative study utilized Heidegger's interpretative phenomenological research design to capture the essence of eight cannabis industry professionals’ (three females, five males) experience and interpretation of the workforce needs of the growing cannabis industry. Purposive sampling and snowball sampling determined the subjects for the remotely recorded, unstructured, six-question, in-depth interviews. The interviews ranged in length from 49 minutes to 126 minutes. The researcher transcribed the interviews verbatim, then coded and analyzed results for themes and implications for practice. The purpose of this methodology is to describe the essence of the research subjects’ lived experiences. The researcher did not bracket their biases. Results Research subjects had from two months to 12 years of experience working in the legal cannabis industry; from three years being affiliated with the cannabis industry and up to 43 years being in the black or black and gray market.

  • Models for the Legal Supply of Cannabis: Recent Developments
    UPDATED 31. 5. 2016 UPDATED PERSPECTIVES ON DRUGS Models for the legal supply of cannabis: recent developments Three United Nations conventions provide The international legal framework on drug control is provided the international legal framework on drug by three United Nations conventions, which instruct control, instructing countries to limit drug countries to limit drug supply and use to medical and scientific purposes. Nevertheless, there is increasing debate supply and use to medical and scientific over legalisation of drugs for non-medical purposes, and purposes. Yet, debate is increasing on of cannabis in particular. Such proposals raise concerns the legalisation of drugs for non-medical over increases in use and harms and questions about the ways in which the distribution of cannabis for non-medical purposes, particularly cannabis. Models purposes could be carefully regulated to mitigate these. In under development for the legal supply of the EU, a system of limited distribution has evolved in the cannabis are described in this analysis, as Netherlands since the 1970s, with further developments in the last few years. Detailed proposals for non-medical well as some of the questions they raise. cannabis regulation were initiated in two states in the United States and in Uruguay at the end of 2012, which entered into force in 2014, the year when two more US states and Washington DC voted to allow for the supply and distribution of the drug. These are different models that are being closely observed to understand the advantages and disadvantages of a particular regulated system. In addition to these systems, the model of ‘cannabis social clubs’ has been increasingly mentioned in drug policy debates.

    Cannabis regulation Tom Blickman Forum Droghe Summer School 2015 Firenze, 3-4-5 september 2015 Overview • Coffeeshops in the Netherlands • Cannabis Social Clubs • Uruguay • United States • Cannabis policy reform in Europe • Elements for regulation Coffeeshops in the Netherlands The backdoor problem Coffee shops are allowed to sell up to 5 grams of cannabis to consumers (the front door), but have to buy their stock on the illegal market (the back door). To get coffee shops out of the criminal sphere entirely, the cultivation of cannabis needs to be regulated. Coffeeshops in the Netherlands Dutch Opium Act: sale and possession of cannabis remains a statutory offence. The ‘expediency principle’: a discretionary option that allows the Public Prosecution to refrain from prosecution if it is in the public interest to do so. The investigation and prosecution has been assigned the ‘lowest judicial priority’. Coffeeshops are tolerated when they follow a guideline – known as the AHOJGI criteria – issued by the Ministry of Justice through the Public Prosecution Office. Coffeeshops in the Netherlands AHOJGI criteria • no advertising (A) • not selling hard drugs (H) • not causing public disorder (O) • no sales to minors (J) • sales limited to a small quantity per transaction (5 grams) / limits on inventory (500 grams) (G) • in 2013, an additional criterion was added that limits sales to residents in the municipality (I) A survey in February 2014 found that 85% of the municipalities did not actively enforce the residence criterion Coffeeshops in the Netherlands • Cultivation of cannabis is prohibited, although 5 plants are tolerated in general. The police has to confiscate the plants but there will be no criminal prosecution.

  • Cannabis Regulations in the United States
    Cannabis regulations in the United States Ivana Obradovic MEMO N° 2017-02 SAINT-DENIS, MARCH 2017 INTRODUCTION Although cannabis is still prohibited at federal level, 8 American states and the District of Columbia have made unprecedented changes to their cannabis regulations with the legalisation of cultivation, sale1, possession and use of cannabis for non-medical (i.e. recreational) purposes from the age of 21. These changes in the legal status of "recreational" cannabis have arisen even though "medical" use is already permitted in 29 states2. Hence, in the third most populated country in the world, one in five inhabitants is currently (or will be) experiencing a legal regime authorising the purchase and use of cannabis for recreational use by adults (i.e. 65 million citizens). The initial initiatives for legalisation were approved via voter initiatives in 2012, in 2 Western states (Colorado and Washington State), then in 2014 in Oregon, Alaska and Washington DC. At the same time as the presidential election on 8 November 2016, 4 new states (California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada) followed. Legalisation in California, the most populous state and the sixth leading economic power worldwide, highlights the scale of this trend. This memo describes the regulatory models instituted in the American states in which cannabis Similarities and differences in regulatory models 2 has been legalised, Highlighting differences with the medical cannabis market 2 highlighting both the Regulation = legalisation subject to conditions 3 Disparate production and distribution regulations 4 similarities and differences Taxation and fixing of prices 4 in the regulations.

  • Self-Regulation on Cannabis Use Recommendations Towards a New Approach for Cannabis Consumption Models and for an Efficient Alternative Policy
    Self-regulation on cannabis use Recommendations towards a new approach for cannabis consumption models and for an efficient alternative policy NAHRPP New Approaches WS2: Cannabis in Harm self regulation Reduction model in a Policies and harm reduction Practices perspective The project NAHRPP The Project New Approaches in Harm Reduction Policies and Practices (NAHRPP) – 2017-2018 addresses challenging recent drug policy developments in Europe: 1. Plant-based NPS are used increasingly throughout Europe yet lack of knowledge about the use of these compounds is cause to many misconceptions and brings along a range of harms. WS 1 aims to encourage the expansion of knowledge base, exchange of information, identification and dissemination of good practices in the area of prevention and harm reduction related to plant-based NPS and will target the people most involved in these substances: users, smart shops, on-line retailers and health institutions and drug policy makers. 2. Cannabis remains the most used drug in the EU and there is an urgent need to develop sustainable cannabis policies. WS 2 will collect information on best practices of cannabis users to reduce the risks of heavy patterns of use and will develop a model for self-regulation of use. An expert seminar will help develop two sets of guidelines on self regulation of cannabis use: one set targeting cannabis users and the other targeted at networks, public drug services and drug policy makers. 3. With the economic crisis the prevalence of drug use in South and South-eastern Europe has increased while the availability of harm reduction services declined.
