Cannabis Use and Dependence: Public Health and Public Policy
Abstract
Exploring the relationship between health policy, public health and the law regarding the controversial of cannabis, this study assesses the impact of illegality in drug and compares it with the policies of the U.S., Europe and Australia as well as other developed societies. Current debates about safe use and harm minimization approaches are evaluated, as well as the experiences of differing prevention, treatment and education policies. Written by two leading drug advisors, the analysis contributes to an important field of research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
