Prohibited Plants - Environmental Justice in Drug Policy
Prohibited Plants - Environmental Justice in Drug Policy
Across the world, the state of environmental stress is unprecedented. As scholarship and activism on ‘environmental justice’ points out, poorer and marginalised communities face particular exposure to environmental harms. This holds particularly true for populations in the global South. The role of illicit drugs in relation to these environmental stresses is an underexplored terrain. Yet, as this report will argue, drugs, as well as the policy responses to them, are an environmental issue. (Transnational Institute (TNI), Niederlande, 28.06.2022
