Social norms and rituals.
Individual and collective self-regulation strategies in cannabis use

What research and alternative practices can tell to cannabis policy reform.

The consolidated social process of normalization of cannabis use offers to drug policies the opportunity of a “social government” of the phenomenon, in which knowing, valorising, and supporting social norms (formal and informal), rituals and self-regulation strategies should be an integral part of the development of an alternative cannabis policy model. Since the 1970s, a vast scientific literature has offered a substantial knowledge on this topic: this research represent an extraordinary source to support the shift from a model of penal control to a socio-cultural one in cannabis use policies.
