Research into the possible consequences for organized crime – raytodd.blog

On August 20, a report from the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime stated that while Colombia has taken steps toward regulation, such as the legalization of medical cannabis in 2015, full legalization of recreational cannabis is still under discussion.

The report draws on experiences from countries such as Uruguay, Canada and the US, which have already legalized cannabis, to examine the possible implications for Colombia.

A key concern is how criminal control of cannabis production areas could hinder growers’ transition to a legal market.
