Cannabis growers as gardeners: Results from a survey among Italian and British small-scale growers
Gardening other plants is common among cannabis growers and precedes cultivating cannabis far more than the reverse pathway. As general gardeners appear focused on cannabis alone, concerns about spillover to growing other psychoactive plants or fungi may be overstated. Given the lower expected harms associated with general gardening, it could serve as a proxy for reduced supply involvement in legal assessments
Global patterns in small-scale cannabis growers’ distribution practices: Exploring the grower-distributor nexus
We discuss the implications of the findings on the structural process of import-substitution in low-end cannabis markets, including a growing normalization of cannabis supply
Conflict and social control among cannabis growers
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on cannabis cultivation and use in 18 countries
This study is the first to document an increase in cannabis cultivation activity following COVID restrictions. Increased home cultivation was not only driven by higher use as a result of home isolation, but also by disruptions of wider illegal cannabis supply. Limitations of this study include the non-representativeness of the sample as well as differences in approaches and duration of restrictions in different countries
Growing practices and the use of potentially harmful chemical additives from a web survey of mainly small-scale cannabis growers in 18 countries
Are cannabis use problems comparable across individuals using for recreational and medical purposes? An international cross-sectional study of individuals who use self-grown cannabis
Global cannabis cultivation as a gendered activity: Findings from the 2020 International Cannabis Cultivation Questionnaire
The findings presented here come from the first multi-national study to provide a descriptive analysis of gendered differences in cannabis cultivation and how these vary in different legal contexts. The experiences of men and women cannabis growers varied across policy contexts. One of the impacts of legalization may be the increased involvement of women in cannabis production. Our study suggests a lessening of the gendered nature of cannabis cul…
Patterns of cannabis cultivation, cannabis and other drug use and market participation among Georgian small-scale cannabis growers: Results of online cross-sectional survey
Coming Out”: Stigma, Reflexivity and the Drug Researcher’s Drug Use
Some personal experience of illicit drug use undoubtedly exists within the population of academic drug researchers. But it is rarely acknowledged, and even more rarely reflected upon, in their published work. This is understandable: criminal, professional and social sanctions may follow public admission of illicit activities. However, to not “come out” seems contrary to some core academic principles, such as transparency in data collection and re…
Snitches get stitches: Researching Both Sides of Illegal Markets
PurposeThe question of "taking sides" has received a lot of attention within qualitative criminology. Much of this has focused on the moral-philosophical or value-laden aspects of taking sides, following Becker's 1967 essay "whose side are we on". However, the question of taking sides also has methodological implications, especially for qualitative researchers who wish to study multiple sides of a criminological problem, such as the perspectives …
The challenges and benefits of analyzing feedback comments in surveys: Lessons from a cross-national online survey of small-scale cannabis growers
It is common practice in survey questionnaires to include a general open and non-directive feedback question at the end, but the analysis of this type of data is rarely discussed in the methodological literature. While these open-ended comments can be useful, most researchers fail to report on this issue. The aim of this article is to illustrate and reflect upon the benefits and challenges of analyzing responses to open-ended feedback questions. …
The three betrayals of the medical cannabis growing activist: From multiple victimhood to reconstruction, redemption and activism
Ethnographic research on crime and control: Editors' introduction
Jennifer Fleetwood and Gary R. Potter introduce a Special Section on ethnographic research on crime and control
Real gates to virtual fields: Integrating online and offline ethnography in studying cannabis cultivation and reflections on the applicability of this approach in criminological ethnography more gener…
This article explores the interplay between online and offline approaches in criminological ethnography. Criminology has come to embrace online research: in addition to offering numerous research benefits generic to the social sciences, the Internet offers solutions to various problems specific to active offender research. Furthermore, as many types of criminal or deviant behaviour increasingly have online aspects, so engaging in online research …
The Geography of Environmental Crime
This book critically examines both theory and practice around conservation crimes. It engages with the full complexity of environmental crimes and different responses to them, including: poaching, conservation as a response to wildlife crime, forest degradation, environmental activism, and the application of scientific and situational crime prevention techniques as preventative tools to deal with green crime. Through the contributions of experts …

Growing medicine: Small-scale cannabis cultivation for medical purposes in six different countries
There is a wider demand for licit access for medical cannabis than currently available in these countries. Ideologically, medical growers can be seen distancing themselves from both the legal and illicit drug markets. From a harm reduction perspective, it is worrying that, in the context of present health and control policies in these countries, many medical growers are using cannabis to treat serious medical conditions without proper medical adv…
The globalisation of cannabis cultivation: A growing challenge
Attitudes of cannabis growers to regulation of cannabis cultivation under a non-prohibition cannabis model
Lessons from conducting trans-national Internet-mediated participatory research with hidden populations of cannabis cultivators

Blurred Boundaries: The Artificial Distinction Between “Use” and “Supply” in the U.K. Cannabis Market
This article examines particular features of the bottom level of the U.K. cannabis market and the overlap between supply–supplier and use–user within that market. An Internet survey was completed by 464 adult regular cannabis users residing in the United Kingdom. Results indicate that over a quarter of the sample had bought large amounts (9 ounces [252 g] or more) of cannabis at one time, a third had been involved in selling cannabis for profit a…
Values in Criminology and Community Justice
The way we think about crime and the way that society responds to it are imbued with values that can determine what is considered important and what gets attention. Sometimes values that are claimed may not be the values expressed in practice, as we see in the multiple and confusing discourses about victims and offenders, punishment and protection, rights and responsibilities. This collection of writings considers values in crime theory, criminal…
From “Social Supply” to “Real Dealing”: Drift, Friendship, and Trust in Drug-Dealing Careers
This article reports on an empirical study into a group of drug dealers supplying cannabis, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, and other drugs in and around a small English city. It reveals a market that is not overly structured or hierarchically controlled, and certainly not dominated by organized crime or characterized by violence. Dealers involved had often drifted into “real” dealing from backgrounds in “social supply.” However, despite an increase …

Zwinglian Synods in Eastern Switzerland, 1529–1531
Little attention seems to have been given by Zwingli's biographers to the Reformer's pastoral activities between the end of the Marburg Conference (October 1529) and his own death two years later. This may be because the critical edition of his writings in the Corpus Reformatorum , started in 1905, has not yet covered the two final years. Koehler long ago stressed the preponderance of political interests in Zwingli's thought and activities during…
