  • Public Opinion and Cannabis Policies: What Can We Learn from Canadian Market?
    Public Opinion and Cannabis Policies: What Can We Learn from Canadian Market? by Huong Mai A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Marketing and Consumer Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Huong Mai, December, 2019 ABSTRACT PUBLIC OPINION AND CANNABIS POLICIES: WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM CANADIAN MARKET? Huong Mai Advisor University of Guelph, 2019 Professor May Aung This thesis explores the phenomenon of public opinion on cannabis legalization in Canada. Specifically, this study investigated consumers’ opinions towards the cannabis policy and its market place. A netnographic study on four online communities: Canadian Weed Forum, Roll It Up Forum, sub-reddits r/marijuana and r/canadients, was conducted. Findings suggested that consumers’ opinions on the cannabis legalization policy vary from strongly supportive to strongly negative statements. Overall, consumers could be divided into different groups: groups of enthusiasts and haters of legalization. This study found that negative attitudes toward cannabis policy exist in the Canadian market. Additionally, product and price are found as important marketing mix elements in the market place. Results suggested that four symbolic boundaries: quality boundary, purpose boundary, source boundary and geographical boundary influencing the meaning of product to consumers. Different price points also impact on consumers’ attitudes towards cannabis product in the market place. Conceptual and managerial contributions are also offered. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my Advisor May Aung. Your time, dedication and patience have guided me to the development and completion of this thesis. I am so grateful for your support and encouragement, especially during the hard time of my thesis progress.

  • Ginger Santiago Title: Psychonautic Science and Plant Technologies: Cultural Hegemony, Cannabis, and Consciousness Abstract
    Ginger Santiago Title: Psychonautic Science and Plant Technologies: Cultural Hegemony, Cannabis, and Consciousness Abstract: The Westerized cultural of materialism, and its narrrow programming through governmental controls, mass media, scientific materialsim, and other closed-system feeback loops through enculturation, is deterimental to humans and environment. Heresy within a culture becomes a moral imperative when faced with a crisis of this magnitude. The cultural hegemony is a progam and it can be transcended through the use psychonautic science using psychoactive plants as technologies. This paper explores paradigms, human consciousness potentials, cultural programming, and cognitive liberty rights in respects to psychonautic science. The cognitive effects of the cannabis “high” are explored. Humans have the capacity for multiple states of consciousness and plants are technologies to help facilitate access to these states. A Planetary Appraisal Western Culture and its Detrimental Effects We live inside a fragile ecosystem, which we have plundered and poisoned due to our misaligned consumptive and economic values. The current Western dominator culture has turned people into cogs in a machine based on economic growth, and stripped them of any sovereignty and internal self-guidance mechanisms. A shift is desperately needed from our current cultural paradigm of authoritarian, consumeristic, war mongering, plundering, and materialistic values to a discovery of what is “The Real” or what is vital, essential, and true. The internal and consensually enforced resistance to this much needed change comes from an investment in ideas we have not truly considered, for if we had, we surely would discover the flimsy façade of this cultural programming. We repeat what we have been taught, and embrace and defend these beliefs and values.

  • To the North Dakota Senate Human Services Committee My Name Is
    To the North Dakota Senate Human Services Committee My name is Dustin Peyer. I live in district 28. I am a sponsor of the Freedom of Cannabis ACT. I am asking you to amend 1420 , 1391, 1359, to include the right to grow cannabis for adult use. We must allow people to grow their own cannabis if they choose. This will create a free market balance and system of quality regulation created by the people themselves, not the government. 20 states have allowed and aded home cultivation to their programs and there is no reason why North Dakota cannot do the same. This will provide patients and those who want adult use the Freedom to create and use cannabis as they see fit. A free society is not hampered down by unnecessary regulation and government overreach. How long do you think the 216,000 who voted for measure 5 will continue to accept prohibition lite and a legal state run cartel. A monopoly is taking over the North Dakota cannabis industry. While I support cannabis reform I strongly urge a do not pass until home cultivation is added. Is freedom still at the core of enough members to actually give it to the people. The Freedom of Cannabis ACT has a solid infrastructure and continues to grow every time cannabis rights are denied. Patients are paying some of the highest prices in the nation and deserve better. We all deserve better. ____________________________________ Cannabis Caucus amendment compromise 19 - 24.1 - 08.1. Qualifying patients and designated caregivers - Producing. A North Dakota resident and qualifying medical marijuana patient may produce up to eight marijuana plants, at any stage beyond a non germinated seed, in an enclosed, locked facility.

  • Buttressed and Breached: the Exurban Fortress, Cannabis Activism, and the Drug War's Shifting Political Geography
    Article EPD: Society and Space 0(0) 1–20 Buttressed and breached: The ! The Author(s) 2020 Article reuse guidelines: exurban fortress, cannabis sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0263775820907388 activism, and the drug war’s journals.sagepub.com/home/epd shifting political geography Michael Polson University of California-Berkeley, USA Abstract As the post-1980s revanchist drug war transformed US cities, another spatial formation was materializing: exurbia. The final roost of suburban white flight, exurbia also formed via the spatial– racial dynamics of the drug war. The “exurban fortress” projected an imaginary of urban danger and rural security that (1) solidified an anti-drug constituency among (older, white) property owners and disciplinarily transitioned racially marked and poor white residents from an industrial to postindustrial service economy and (2) ameliorated key contradictions implicit to the produc- tion, consumption, and governance of exurbia. Taking the case of Calaveras County, California, this article shows how cannabis prohibition politically stabilized spatial meanings and capital accumulation during a period bookended by recessionary crises in housing production (1992– 2010). It also shows how medical cannabis activists reimagined the urban and rural in capacious ways, thus catalyzing a local transformation that mirrored national trends around drugs, penality and Rightist politics. This case illuminates a neglected dimension of drug war geographies and their activist-driven transformation and urges attention to new bordering practices emerging from exurbian spatial imaginaries. Keywords Criminalization, rural, conservatism, urban, activism, police It was hard to miss the Sheriff’s symbolic display of power that day in 1998. He had stationed a squadron of 24 deputies outside the Calaveras County courtroom, standing at parade rest in full swat gear, flanked on either side by two cannons, an eyewitness recalled.

  • Regulating Medical Marijuana in Victoria
    Engagement Feedback Regulating Medical Marijuana in Victoria August-September 2015 Table of Contents Engagement Feedback Medical Marijuana in Victoria Engagement Overview Engagement Feedback Face to Face Meetings and Site Visits Written Submissions Downtown Victoria Business Association Survey Survey Next Steps Medical Marijuana in Victoria In 2014 Health Canada introduced the ‘Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations’ legislation to control the production and sale of medical marijuana through licensed producers and a mail order delivery program. There are approximately 20 licensed producers across Canada. There are currently no licensed producers operating within Victoria, although several individuals have indicated to the City that they intend to apply for a production licence. The constitutionality of the ‘Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations’ has been challenged under section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A series of court challenges are still underway. The introduction of the ‘Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations’ and the injunction have triggered a significant increase in the number of marijuana-related businesses in Victoria in just over one year. Existing medical marijuana-related businesses include those that sell marijuana paraphernalia, and/or provide medical advice or consulting relating to the use of medical marijuana. Although some businesses are currently dispensing medical marijuana in Victoria, they are doing so in contravention of federal regulations. Some are also operating without a business licence. Engagement Overview This first phase of engagement was largely targeted towards stakeholders that would be most directly affected by potential regulations and bylaws. The purpose of the engagement with marijuana-related businesses was to learn about current business practices and how businesses might be impacted by City regulations.
