As cannabis legalization reforms are underway, there is some
concern that non-profit, 'middle ground' options may remain
under-researched and thus less visible. This book offers an
in-depth account of one of the possible 'middle ground' models for
the supply of cannabis: the Cannabis Social Club. Cannabis Social
Clubs (CSCs) are typically formal, non-profit associations of adult
cannabis users who produce and distribute that substance close to
or at cost price among themselves. They constitute an user-driven
model for the supply of cannabis. In most jurisdictions, CSCs
remain a grass roots, unregulated initiative of groups of users,
but the model has been legalized in Uruguay and Malta, and it has
featured recent debates and legislative proposals in other
countries. This book brings together contributions from
internationally respected scholars, drawing on case studies,
empirical findings and policy reflections, from a range of
countries (such as Belgium, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Uruguay,
USA), and a consideration of the CSC model from different
disciplinary backgrounds. Part one provides detailed analysis of
where and how CSCs have been operating, and a critical analysis of
their key features and relationship with institutional actors. Part
two discusses several policy outcomes and proposes a design of a
regulatory market, as well as considering whether the CSC model
might be suited for adaptation to the supply of other substances.
The Cannabis Social Club is important reading for academics in the
fields of drug policy analysis, criminology, economics, policy
studies and anthropology. It will also be of interest to policy
makers, journalists, law-enforcement personnel.
