Résumé : |
- Spain is an example of a country with innovative drug policies which, with the exception of cannabis social clubs, are little-discussed beyond its own borders.
- The Spanish approach to drug policy is best described as certain sub-national autonomous communities exercising their regional powers to pursue drug policy based on harm reduction principles and a rejection of the prohibitionist approach. - Over the years certain autonomous communities in Spain have been able to push the boundaries of drug policy reform, at times in the face of opposition to the central Madrid-based government, or at times without its express approval; a sub-national approach that can be characterized as 'better to ask forgiveness than permission'. - While not every autonomous community has taken an approach that deviates from national level policy, and not every innovative reform has been rejected by Madrid, communities like Catalonia, the Basque Country and Andalusia have engaged in processes of bottom up policy development. - In addition to cannabis social clubs, other sub-national interventions include safe consumption spaces, Heroin-Assisted Treatment, take-home methadone, opioid substitution and syringe programmes in prison, mobile methadone clinics and drug checking.
