“…The benefit of non‐commercial or not‐for‐profit operators is they can provide legal access to cannabis while avoiding profit‐driven commercial companies focused on expanding sales. A number of jurisdictions have adopted largely non‐commercial models for legal cannabis supply, including Uruguay, Vermont and Washington DC [1,2,12,36,37]. In Canada, decisions about retail distribution were delegated to individual provinces and territories, and this has resulted in regional heterogeneity in retail approaches (e.g.…”

“…While some CSCs, as it is the case with other activist groups or social movement organizations, may see participation in a research project as a way to “make their voices heard in a different arena” (Balsinger and Lambelet, 2014: 156; Klein and Potter, 2018), not all will share this view, and some may prefer to keep their existence and activities away from outsiders’ eyes. There are also indications that CSC members may be primarily interested in joining a CSC to secure access to cannabis, and engagement in activism or in other CSC activities may be secondary for some of them (Pardal & Decorte, 2018; Pardal et al, 2019). Furthermore, at least in part, due to the legal constraints experienced by most of these associations, many close down following law enforcement interventions or due to fear of detection, making it particularly difficult to keep track of their presence, activities, or affiliated members (Pardal, 2018b).…”
