Case Study on Catalonia's Drug Policy and Cannabis Social Clubs

The dataset likely contains a qualitative case study tracing the evolution of Catalonia's drug policy from the 1970s onward. Authored by José Carlos and sourced from the Open Society via paperswithcode, it documents the region's response to a heroin epidemic and the development of its harm reduction and cannabis social club models. The description suggests the data covers policy mechanisms, social movements, and economic impacts.
