About this webinar

Governments internationally are looking to change cannabis regulation in what some have termed a “legal green rush”. Following the removal of criminal penalties for cannabis use, possession and cultivation in Canberra, DPMP undertook research with people who use and grow cannabis over two years. This seminar explores the changing landscape of cannabis regulation and the experiences of cannabis gardeners in Canberra following the reform. Drawing on multispecies, this seminar provides lessons for future cannabis regulation and insights for creating more inclusive, attentive and participatory policy-making processes.
