- Summary:
- This book examines the legislative responses to cannabis cultivation and possession across the Americas, highlighting the predominantly repressive legal frameworks in place. Despite the widespread personal use of cannabis, many countries in the region continue to enforce strict penal codes, often imposing severe penalties. The text provides a comprehensive analysis of these laws, focusing on the penal responses of member states of the Collective of Drug Studies and Law (CEDD). It discusses common legislative traits, such as the harsh punishment of drug-related crimes and the socio-economic impact on vulnerable groups. Uruguay is noted as an exception for its regulatory reforms legalizing cannabis within a state framework. The book is intended for legal scholars, policymakers, and those interested in drug legislation and its societal effects. Generated by AI.
