Increased funding for anti-cannabis law enforcement does not meaningfully reduce the drug’s potency, price or availability and creates a lucrative opportunity for organized crime, according to a report by a group of marijuana policy reform advocates. The report, entitled How not to protect community health and safety: What the government’s own data say about the effects of cannabis production was released by Stop the Violence BC, and argues that marijuana should be regulated, taxed and sold in a restricted capacity. The report looks at 20 years of data collected by the Canadian and U.S. governments and highlights the failure of marijuana prohibition to restrict access to the drug.
