I am an independent, multidisciplinary researcher on legal, cultural, social, and environmental dimensions of controlled substances –focus on cannabis (=hemp=marijuana), coca, and other plant- and fungi-derived drugs. Perhaps a publicist, in the meaning of ICJ statute Art. 38.

Action-research scholar, my research interests span nomenclature and terminology, transnational drug history, the history of pharmacy in Catalonia, Europe, and the Mediterranean cultural basin, as well as international law on narcotics, health, culture, traditional knowledge, genetic resources, and biopiracy.
