Rolling into the Future: Recreational cannabis legislation in the EU
Channel: ENCOD European Coalition
Date: 2021-04-19

The conference looks into the different kinds of policies currently in place across Europe and focuses on policy options that respect the rights of people who consume cannabis, whilst pursuing and promoting health and harm reduction strategies. Regulation should be viewed as a continuous process whereby revisions and corrections are not interpreted as failures, but rather as interesting crossroads and paths that pave the way towards a human- and health-centred policy.
