Interpreting the Czech drug decriminalization: The glass is half full – Response to Cerveny, J., Chomynova, P., Mravcik, V., & van Ours, J.C. (2017). Cannabis decriminalization and the age of onset of cannabis use

In a recent contribution to the International Journal of Drug Policy, Cerveny et al summarize the Czech laws on cannabis in the following way: “cannabis possession was legal between 1990 and 1998, illegal between 1998 and 2010, and has been decriminalized for personal possession since January 2010” (Cerveny, Chomynova, Mravcik,& van Ours, 2015), as they set out to find there has been no impact of the 2010 “de facto decriminalization” on the age of initiation into cannabis use.
