Conferences
I am a French/Algerian independent and interdisciplinary international drug policy research based in Barcelona (Spain).
I focus on the legal, cultural, social, historical, and environmental outcomes of drug control laws and policies (including, but not limited to “prohibition”).
I am interested in the ethical and terminological aspects of drugs, and in sustainable development, fair trade, and human rights.
I specialise in hemp/marijuana (Cannabis L.), and to a lesser extent other plants and fungi termed “drugs.”
