Résumé : | Current debates on cannabis policy are dominated by the potential health costs of the use of cannabis. Wodak and colleagues argue that the social, economic, and moral costs of cannabis control far outweigh the health costs of cannabis use. However, in the other half of the debate, Drummond argues that reducing police and court time through decriminalisation is likely to be at the risk of public health. He advocates better public education on the risks of cannabis and greater availability of treatment for those affected. (Extract of the publication) |
