Catch up on the fifth and final webinar in our Global Perspectives on Australia’s Cannabis Future series: In conversation with Professor Jonathan Caulkins, recorded live on 13 June 2024.
In this much anticipated webinar, we welcome Professor Caulkins to join us in conversation to explore the criminal justice aspects of regulated cannabis markets.
We will also review the other major policy issues that have been covered throughout this series, how regulatory frameworks in other jurisdictions have managed these issues, and what Australian policymakers should consider when designing a legal cannabis framework.
This final and essential session will cover the following topics:
- The criminal justice impacts of regulating access to cannabis,
- Public health and community safety considerations,
- Choices about market structures and socioeconomic outcomes.
This session is facilitated by Penington Institute’s Policy Officer, Rhys Cohen
