1925-2025 : One centenary of Cannabis as a narcotic drug under international control
This side event, in link with an exhibition, aims to present the long journey of cannabis from 1925 to the present day, passing by the Single Convention and its recent change of scope related to its scheduling in 2020.
Looking back at 100 years of negative history –since the 1925 Geneva Opium Convention first brought “Indian hemp” under international drug control. Meanwhile, cannabis also entered the International Pharmacopoeia.
Let’s re-examine this dual history in light of the millennia of positive interactions with Cannabis sativa L. by all human societies. During 99% of human history, cannabis was neither prohibited nor problematic.
ENCOD, with its partners, invites you to a very special side event celebration.
In partnership with :
ACURA / Santo Amor, Cannabis Sans Frontières, Cannabis Embassy, DRC-net, FAAAT.net – FDM, Fields of Green For ALL, Hempoint, NORML France, Veterans Action Council.
