Project Summary
The creation of legally regulated cannabis markets in a number of US states and, at the national level, in Uruguay has generated tensions within the UN drug control regime and shaken the foundations of the prohibition oriented “Vienna consensus” that has dominated international drug policy for several decades. What’s more, further voter referenda on cannabis regulation in the US are certain with various Latin American and Caribbean states increasingly debating alternatives to prohibition of the drug. Within this context, this project page aims to provide a useful resource for those interested in the latest policy developments around cannabis within the Americas and beyond - including the broader historical context in which they are taking place.
