Global patterns in small-scale cannabis growers’ distribution practices
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
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
How and Where to Find NPS Users
Use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) across Europe remains a public health challenge. The study describes potentials and limitations of methods in a transnational survey of recent marginalised, nightlife and online community NPS users in Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland and Portugal ( n = 3023). In terms of demographic profile, drug use history and type of NPS, different methods reached different segments of the NPS-using po…
Discriminative Characteristics of Marginalised Novel Psychoactive Users
New psychoactive substances (NPS) continue to be considered as a major public health concern in many European countries. The study was implemented within the framework of a transnational project of six European countries (Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal). Our aim here is to report on the distinct and differentiating characteristics of marginalised NPS users. Three subgroups of a total of 3023 adult NPS users (socially mar…

The challenges and benefits of analyzing feedback comments in surveys
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. …
Sharing, Group-Buying, Social Supply, Offline and Online Dealers
The burgeoning recognition and accommodation of the social supply of drugs in international criminal justice systems
Health and Social Problems Associated with Recent Novel Psychoactive Substance (NPS) Use Amongst Marginalised, Nightlife and Online Users in Six European Countries
Continued diversification and use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) across Europe remains a public health challenge. The study describes health and social consequences of recent NPS use as reported in a survey of marginalised, nightlife and online NPS users in the Netherlands, Hungary, Portugal, Ireland, Germany and Poland ( n = 3023). Some respondents were unable to categorise NPS they had used. Use of ' herbal blends ' and ' synthetic cannab…

Legal issues for German-speaking cannabis growers. Results from an online survey
The transparency paradox. Building trust, resolving disputes and optimising logistics on conventional and online drugs markets
Growing medicine
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…
Lessons from conducting trans-national Internet-mediated participatory research with hidden populations of cannabis cultivators
Global patterns of domestic cannabis cultivation
