DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe legalisation of cannabis on the American contin
 ent has reinvigorated calls for cannabis law reform in many countries. Non
 -commercial models for cannabis law reform\, such as cannabis social clubs
 \, not-for-profit community ‘trusts’ and government monopolies\, may offer
  a buffer against industry marketing and commercialisation. To date\, few 
 jurisdictions have implemented these ‘middle ground’ models in practice\, 
 instead favouring familiar alcohol-style for-profit legalisation. This pre
 sentation will outline a framework for understanding cannabis law reform o
 ptions between decriminalisation and commercial markets\, with particular 
 focus on ‘public ownership’ models for legal cannabis sale. The benefits a
 nd costs of the ‘public ownership’ model will be presented\, drawing on em
 pirical research with key policy stakeholders involved in implementing gov
 ernment-run retail stores for cannabis (Société québécoise du cannabis) in
  Quebec (Canada)\, ‘community licensing trusts’ for alcohol in New Zealand
  and experience with cannabis social clubs in a number of countries. Parti
 cular attention will be paid to formal and informal governance mechanisms 
 and regulatory protections around price\, retail\, and product control und
 er ‘public ownership’ models.  \n\nBiography\n\nDR. MARTA RYCHERT is a Sen
