How public health policy influences cannabis consumer identity

The Cannigma

During the height of cannabis prohibition, admitting consumption was very risky. Not only was the identity of “cannabis consumer” tied to stereotypes such as laziness , lack of success and ambition and “a motivational syndrome”, it could result in incarceration and the strict collateral sanctions associated with a drug charge. 1 Of course, this risk was more intense for some than for others.
