Les coordonnées ne se rejoignent pas ; à partir d’un certain point on les [...]

Est-ce que vous diriez que le cannabis a rendu possible, pour vous, un nouveau rapport au monde et à soi, de produire une forme de subjectivité ? M. : Le mot « cannabis » est encore plus vague que le mot « vin ». Il y a un monde entre le gros rouge de base et un grand cru élevé avec amour. Le [...]

Le cannabis, ce n’est pas le nom d’un poison, ni d’une drogue pharmaceutique. Ce n’est pas non plus un mot inventé par les politiciens pour faire peur ou pour influencer les résultats d’un concours de popularité à l’échelle du pays. Le cannabis peut être bien des choses pour bien des personnes, mais avant même d’être le démon incarné qui rend les mœurs légères, et avant même d’être le prochain remède holistique à tous les maux [...]

Aston, Jane Metrik & James MacKillop Addiction, 2018, 114, 112–118 doi:10.1111/add.14437 ABSTRACT Background and Aims : The evolving legal status of cannabis world-wide necessitates evidence-based regulatory policies to minimize risks associated with cannabis misuse.

Empirical data on this issue are virtually non-existent. This study used behavioral economics to investigate substitutability of legal and illegal cannabis in legalized catchment areas [...]

The result is a patchwork of air, water, pesticide, and waste regulations for the industry across dozens of states, even as the substance remains illegal at the federal level. States like Michigan, where the Marijuana Regulatory Agency will begin accepting business licenses in [...]

Coult.) has deep roots in Texas, or a deep taproot to be precise. While Texas is currently home to a federally regulated peyote trade, where members of the Native American Church (NAC) can legally purchase peyote for use in religious ceremonies, archaeological sites in Texas, and neighboring Coahuila, also mark the earliest known ceremonial associations between humans and peyote. It is believed that the peyote rituals of the Huichol, Nahua, Tarahumara, Cora, Tepehuan, and more recently the NAC, all trace their origins to the peyote gardens [...]
