How can we ensure that the global cannabis transition is just, sustainable, and inclusive—especially for those historically marginalised by prohibition?

This is not another book about how to grow or sell cannabis. It is about designing a post-prohibition future that avoids repeating the same extractive, inequitable patterns that have harmed our planet and its peoples. The cannabis economy of tomorrow must not only be green in colour but in principle—grounded in human rights, biodiversity conservation, and social justice.

The book is also an urgent contribution to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Cannabis policy reform intersects with several SDGs—poverty alleviation, health, gender equality, decent work, climate action, and justice. The Sustainable Cannabis Policy Toolkit asks: will this new green economy help us realise these goals, or undermine them?

The Sustainable Cannabis Policy Toolkit, available for free in English, Spanish, Czech (and soon in Japanese and Portuguese) at www.cannabis2030.org, is a call to action for policymakers, activists, businesses, and communities. The choices we make today will shape what cannabis becomes by 2030. Let’s choose wisely.
