Bloomsbury Professional Law Insight – Cannabis Law and Regulation
Mark Taylor

This new title is a comprehensive analysis of the changing cannabis laws of more than 50 of the largest and most signi cant global markets, with insight from legal experts, political and government gures and public health o cials.

It covers the US, Canada,

Uruguay and other emerging areas where recreational use has been legalised,

and the rapidly transforming European, African and Asian landscapes where a rush to become
the top global medicinal cannabis hub is taking place. Recent court cases, rulings, directives, government initiatives, trials and, in some cases, total decriminalisation have created a patchwork of global markets for participants to navigate and serve. This book draws all these elements together, creating an essential legal guide for criminal and medical law practitioners, consultants.
