Participation in the following activities:
- Meeting of the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Opiates.
- Reconvened 61st Session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs of the United Nations.
- The International Cannabis Policy Conference 2018.
It was decided to participate in these events due to their relevance at the international level and because we co-hosted the International Cannabis Policy Conference organized by our partner association FAAAT, at which the official presentation of our Think & Do Tank took place.
The two executive directors, two team volunteers and two invited press teams participated. We gave tickets to two PhD students from Berlin and Hamburg and to a biologist.
The overall evaluation has been positive in all aspects evaluated.
