In this interview, filmed at the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, we discussed current developments of cannabis policy reform in Europe with Tom Blickman from the Transnational Institute.
Highlights from the interview:
- A few countries are now legalising cannabis but not one of them seems to follow the Dutch coffee shop model – why is that?
- What are the differences between the Dutch model and the cannabis social club model?
- How could European countries circumvent the international drug control treaties?
- We see an erosion of democracy and shrinking space for civil society around the world, how will this affect drug policy reform?
- What can we learn from the backlash against cannabis reform in Thailand?
