Dans le cadre d'une décision politique majeure, le Canada a légalisé le cannabis récréatif en octobre 2018. Cependant, les provinces ont mis en œuvre cette légalisation différemment. L'Ontario par exemple a ouvert des magasins de cannabis beaucoup plus tardivement que les autres provinces, et les données de vente au détail indiquent que cette situation a eu une incidence sur le comportement des consommateurs. J'utilise cette variation exogène dans l'accès au cannabis légalisé, combinée à des données de patients de grande taille provenant d'une chaîne de cliniques de cannabis à usage médical opérant dans plusieurs provinces afin de contribuer à la compréhension de la baisse observée dans la vente du cannabis à usage médicinal et la croissance significative du cannabis médicinal produit individuellement. Après la légalisation, l'achat du cannabis médicinal a moins diminué en Ontario que dans les provinces où l'accès est plus élevé. Cependant, je ne trouve aucune preuve permettant d'affirmer que la légalisation a modifié les tendances dans la composition des acheteurs de cannabis médicinal en fonction du sexe, de l'âge ou de l'état de santé. Cette preuve concorde avec un mésusage minimal du système de cannabis à usage médical et, par conséquent, ne corrobore pas les politiques plus restrictives concernant l'achat de cannabis médicinal. Cependant, l'augmentation substantielle de la culture personnelle de cannabis à des fins médicales pourrait devenir une priorité politique à l'avenir.

Do patients increase or decrease their employment after starting prescription medical cannabis? I exploit a novel panel database of more than 4,000 medical cannabis patients to analyze connections between medical cannabis treatment and changes in employment and disability status, finding a mild increase in employment and small reductions in unemployment and labor force participation. Patients taking antiepileptic medications at the time of cannabis prescription do significantly better than average, whereas patients taking nerve modulators do somewhat worse. Other factors such as age, sex, prior use of cannabis, or characteristics of prescription cannabis do not strongly correlate with labor market changes.

This article questions the claim that policy transfer is 'on the rise', preferring instead to treat the assertion as a hypothesis to be investigated. Using the literature's own predictive categories, it investigates immigration policy making in Spain more broadly, as well as how it applies specifically to the case of Catalonia. The results of the investigation demonstrate a curious enigma: that while Spanish immigration policy making seems little influenced by policy transfer, Catalonia has made precocious, but failed efforts to create an autonomous model of immigration.

AbstractScholars have focussed on the national level factors affecting citizen perceptions of legal institutions, which vary a great deal across the world. Scepticism towards legal structures often arises as a result of corrupt or abusive practices on the part of legal actors that may poison relations between citizens and law enforcement. Empirical research on the cross-national determinant of confidence in the police have shown corruption to be an essential factor in predicting lower levels of confidence in the police. Yet, a focus on corruption oftentimes emphasizes the quality of governance and neglects abusive actions taken by officials that can undermine public trust. This article focusses on those abusive practices by examining the relationship between human rights and individual reports of confidence in legal authorities. Using a pooled sample across multiple waves of the World Values Survey and multilevel models, I test the extent to which protections from human rights abuses and perceptions of strong human rights practices are related to higher levels of confidence in legal authorities. Findings from the statistical analysis offer strong support for my theorized expectations.
