Selling Cannabis Regulation: Learning from Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012
ISSN 2054-1910 Selling cannabis regulation: Learning From Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012 Emily Crick*, Mark Cooke¥ and Dave Bewley-Taylorp Policy Brief 6 | November 2014 Key Points • In November 2012, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon voted on ballot initiatives to establish legally regulated markets for the production, sale, use and taxation of cannabis.1 Washington and Colorado’s measures won by wide margins, while Oregon’s lost soundly. • A majority of voters view cannabis in a negative light, but also feel that prohibition for non-medical and non-scientific purposes is not working. As a result, they are more likely to support well-crafted reform policies that include strong regulations and direct tax revenue to worthy causes such as public health and education. • Ballot measures are not the ideal method for passing complicated pieces of legislation, but sometimes they are necessary for controversial issues. Other states often follow in their footsteps, including via the legislature. • The successful campaigns in Washington and Colorado relied on poll-driven messaging, were well organised, and had significant financing. The Oregon campaign lacked these elements. • The Washington and Colorado campaigns targeted key demographic groups, particularly 30-50 year old women, who were likely to be initially supportive of reform but then switch their allegiance to the ‘no’ vote. • Two key messages in Washington and Colorado were that legalisation, taxation and regulation will (i) free up scarce law enforcement resources to focus on more serious crimes and (ii) will create new tax revenue for worthy causes. • National attitudes on legalising cannabis are changing, with more and more people supporting reform. -
Khiron Life Sciences
12th July 2019 BUY KHIRON LIFE Fair Value CAD4 SCIENCES Share price EUR1.90 Bloomberg / Reuters KHRN CN/KHRN.V Consumer, Brands & Retail Cannabis Bold Ambition Khiron is set up to be a leader in the Latin American medicinal and branded CPG cannabis markets. From its base in Colombia it is spreading out into Mexico, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil. Supported by a strong team of seasoned entrepreneurs (and a knowledgeable Board that includes former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox), the company is aiming to take a first mover advantage in the medicinal cannabis and CBD- based branded Consumer packaged goods. We initiate the stock with Buy and a fair value of CAD4.0 per share offering a 100% upside. Its position in medically-validated cannabis products is most advanced in Colombia where the company is fully licensed for the cultivation, production, domestic distribution, and international export of both THC and CBD medical cannabis. It is currently preparing the market for its medicinal cannabis products (to be launched in H2 2019) through in-person clinic consultations, medical association alliances, alliances with pharmacies, health insurance and providing physicians with a variety of cannabis education platforms. In order to accelerate the market development and its own market position, the company has already bought the ILANS clinics in Colombia but we expect more to come. The advantage of running its own neuropathic clinic is that it is much easier to educate doctors in the uses of medicinal cannabis and to switch patients towards the use of medicinal cannabis. Meanwhile, the company’s own developed CBD ski- care brand Kuida is leading the efforts in the health & wellness category. -

ASIAN LAW & PUBLIC POLICY REVIEW ISSN 2581 6551 [VOLUME 3] DECEMBER 2018 A Creative Connect International Publication 54 INTRODUCTION Cannabis, commonly known as marijuana is a drug which is made up from Indian hemp plants like cannabis sativa and cannabis indica. The main active chemical in cannabis is Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC). Cannabis plant is used for medical purposes and recreational purposes. Cannabis is the plants that have played a vital role in the development of agriculture, which had great impact on both human beings and planet.

Legalization of Marijuana in India
VOLUME 3 ISSUE 2 DECEMBER 2019 ISSN: 2456-9666 THE CONTROLLED LAW OF UNCOVERD HEMP: LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA IN INDIA -SHIVANI VYAS1 ABSTRACT: More and more states have passed laws that allow individuals to use marijuana for medical purposes. There is an ongoing, heated policy debate over whether these laws have increased marijuana use among non-patients.Medical marijuana laws generate significant debates regarding drug policy. For one thing, if marijuana is a complement to hard drugs, then these laws would increase the usage not only of marijuana but also of hard drugs. Legalization of marijuana has always been a debatable topic after the enforcement of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 illegalizing sale and possession of marijuana all over India. This paper aims at drawing a strict analysis of usage of marijuana followed with a comparative study with the rest of the world pin-pointing whether India should legalise marijuana or not. I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If he put it here and he wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that god is wrong? —Willie Nelson I. INTRODUCTION The idea that marijuana is a complement to hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin, or even a gateway to them, is an important but controversial justification for marijuana prohibition that has had a strong influence on India policy.Some empirical evidence suggests that marijuana consumption has increased after medical marijuana legalization. -

Morocco and Cannabis Reduction, Containment Or Acceptance
DRUG POLICY BRIEFING | 49 | March 2017 Morocco and Cannabis Reduction, containment or acceptance Tom Blickman1 KEY POINTS • Morocco continues to be the world’s largest producer of cannabis resin (hashish). Over the past 50 years, the Moroccan cannabis growers shown a remarkable resilience to government attempts to eradicate or reduce cannabis cultivation as well as a noteworthy ability to adapt to changing international market conditions. • Since Morocco’s independence the government has practiced a policy of containment regarding cannabis cultivation, allowing no new areas but tacitly allowing those already in production to be maintained. • The rapid increase in illicit cannabis cultivation in the Rif during the last decades, as well as poor soil conservation practices, have taken a heavy toll on the Rif’s already threatened forests and fragile ecosystems. • The unregulated cannabis market in Morocco has negative social consequences. Some 48,000 growers have arrest warrants hanging over their heads, which is a source of corruption and repression. An amnesty and decriminalization could be effective measures to diminish negative social consequences and open the debate about regulation. • Cannabis farmers in Morocco should have access to emerging legally regulated cannabis markets that are gaining ground worldwide. The challenge is to find a sustainable development model that includes cannabis cultivation in Morocco, instead of excluding cannabis and ignoring the realities of more than 50 years of failed attempts to eradicate the only viable
