TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Hedging bets: applying New Zealand's gambling machine regime to cannabis legalization JO - International journal on drug policy A1 - Caulkins, Jonathan P. SP - 113 EP - 114 VL - 53 IS - N2 - Cannabis legalization is often falsely depicted as a binary choice between status quo prohibition and legalizing production and distribution by (regulated) for-profit industry. There are, however, many more prudent architectures for legalization, such as restricting production and distribution licenses to not-for-profit entities. Wilkins describes how New Zealand applied that concept to gambling machines and proposes a parallel for cannabis legalization. Greater investment in proposing good designs along these lines, including attending to governance structures, would be valuable.
