The book investigates the fragmented governance of illegal drug use, particularly cannabis, highlighting the varying approaches to policy-making across different countries and within regions. Through qualitative research with industry insiders, it uncovers the dynamics that drive either punitive or liberalizing trends in cannabis policies. The analysis identifies key factors influencing these processes and offers insights into future directions for policy-making and comparative criminology, addressing the complexities of drug governance on both local and global scales.
