Understanding recent developments in North American cannabis policy
The US Centre hosted Wayne Hall in an evening of discussion about the recent evolution of cannabis policy in North America.
In his lecture, Professor Hall made a first attempt at answering the following questions: Why has cannabis policy changed so radically in the USA and Canada in such a short period of time? What role did the medical cannabis laws play in changing public attitudes towards cannabis legalisation in these countries? What outcomes can we expect from cannabis legalisation in terms of its effects on cannabis use, cannabis-related harms and the imprisonment of minority populations?
