DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\n(En anglais seulement) The legalisation of cannabis
  on the American continent has reinvigorated calls for cannabis law reform
  in many countries. Non-commercial models for cannabis law reform\, such a
 s cannabis social clubs\, not-for-profit community ‘trusts’ and government
  monopolies\, may offer a buffer against industry marketing and commercial
 isation. To date\, few jurisdictions have implemented these ‘middle ground
 ’ models in practice\, instead favouring familiar alcohol-style for-profit
  legalisation. This presentation will outline a framework for understandin
 g cannabis law reform options between decriminalisation and commercial mar
 kets\, with particular focus on ‘public ownership’ models for legal cannab
 is sale. The benefits and costs of the ‘public ownership’ model will be pr
 esented\, drawing on empirical research with key policy stakeholders invol
 ved in implementing government-run retail stores for cannabis (Société qué
 bécoise du cannabis) in Quebec (Canada)\, ‘community licensing trusts’ for
  alcohol in New Zealand and experience with cannabis social clubs in a num
 ber of countries. Particular attention will be paid to formal and informal
  governance mechanisms and regulatory protections around price\, retail\, 
 and product control under ‘public ownership’ models.  \n\nBiography\n\nDR.
