Cannabis: the end of prohibition?
Canada will shortly be legalising the sale of recreational cannabis. In Switzerland, legal cannabis has been authorised since 2012, while several American states and Uruguay recently legalised the production, sale, possession and recreational consumption of cannabis. And of course, legalisation means taxation and revenue. France has relaxed its legislation but remains one of the least permissive Western nations. Is legalisation inevitable? We examine this topic in episode 3 of ''Objectif Monde''.
