Drug Tourism in Calgary
The development and implementation of progressive public policies on drug
and substance use remain a critical focus of responsible governance in Calgary,
Canada. As such, administrative and political stakeholders in Calgary have a special
role to develop new laws and policies and presenting solutions to address potential
challenges associated with the same. For instance, the recent legalization of
recreational consumption in Calgary has offset an upsurge in drug tourism in the
city and its environs. Definitively, drug tourism denotes intentional travel with the
main goal of accessing and using drugs for recreational purposes that are either
unavailable, overpriced, or illegal in the home country or place of jurisdiction
(Murphy, 2018). Contextually, the sale and consumption of cannabis have been
illegal in Canada and major states in the United States of America imposing serious
restrictions and punishments for those who found a passion for the drug. However, a
changing understanding of the uses and effects of Cannabis encouraged legal and
political stakeholders to legalize and expand the possession and utility of Cannabis
in Calgary. The presentation highlights the implications of the new policies on
Cannabis and the associated influx of drug tourists in the city of Calgary, Canada.
The development of new laws and policies on previously restricted
substances has serious implications for the actions of members of the public. At the
local level, the proponents of the new laws and concerned members of the public
become more willing to partake in the drugs within the constraints and limitations of
the law (Doherty, 2018). On the other hand, individuals from foreign jurisdictions
become willing to experience and assess the new access areas for unavailable and
potentially illegal drugs. In the case of Calgary, the new legal landscape has opened
an opportunity for local and international tourists, particularly from the United
States in search of easy and legal access to Cannabis. Unfortunately, serious risks
are associated with drug tourism that necessitates timely solution development and
implementation. Therefore, it is important to assess the specific legal and political
risks associated with the process before developing applicable solutions.
The first challenge of drug tourism at the international level is the increased
potential for legal breaches for other drugs. In essence, the laxation of legal
limitations on previously restricted substances has the unfortunate implications of
encouraging the use of other illegal drugs (Hughes, 2018). Failure to control and
contain the influx of drug tourism limits the ability of the government to maintain
the legal sanctity of the overall policies of drugs and illegal substances. The second
challenge associated with drug tourism is the potential of tainting diplomatic
relations between the host nation and the home country of the tourists. Worse still
the challenges encountered during the implementation of the laws may contribute to
compromising diplomatic relations with the involved countries.
In conclusion, it is correct to recognize the serious implications of the new
policies on Cannabis and the associated influx of drug tourists in the city of Calgary,
Canada. While the city has the benefits of a new revenue stream and flow of local
and international tourists, drug tourism introduces a unique set of challenges. As
such, primary stakeholders on the subject such as political players, drug tourists, and
members of the host city must embrace sustainable solutions and strategic policies
to address the problem. As a result, the city will stand a better chance of ripping the
benefits of opening up the legal and political restriction on the recreational use of
Cannabis in Calgary.
Part 2: Draft advocacy letter
Dear Mr. Greg McLean,
I am writing to you in sincere support of the new laws that have permitted
the sale and recreational consumption of recreational Cannabis in the city of
Calgary. The legal provision has facilitated an increase in local and international
drug tourists which has induced positive effects on businesses operating in the city.
However, there are rising concerns about the sustainability of the control policies
implement to address the challenge of an increased supply of illegal drugs and the
associated diplomatic issues encountered in the process. As such, I am pleading for
your understanding and support in addressing the challenge and implementing
sustainable solutions to address the challenge. As such, it is important to specify the
precise nature of the political and legal challenge before contextualizing potential
solutions that require your support.
The City has received an influx of local and international tourists in search
of affordable, accessible, and legal recreational Cannabis in recent years. The legal
provision allows the possession of a maximum of 30 grams of Cannabis and the
substance for recreational use on private property (Doherty, 2018). While the law
prohibits the use of cannabis in public spaces including smoking, vaping as well as
edible consumption, the availability of legal access and use of the drug continues to
attract local and international tourists to the city. Unfortunately, the political and
legal arrangement is associated with credible risks such as compromised diplomatic
relations with the source countries and the risks of increased access and use of
illegal drugs within the city. As such, there is a need to develop and implement
reliable and effective control measures to manage the challenge.
As a concerned member of the public and resident of Calgary, collaborating
with legal and political stakeholders in solution development for the public policy
problem is paramount. In the case of the first challenge, creating and implementing
effective immigration laws to prevent the influx and use of illegal drugs within the
city is paramount (Hughes, 2018). As such, drug tourists must be made aware of the
legal limitations of the policies on the possession and use of Cannabis within the
city prior to admission. Furthermore, contextualizing the effects and risks of
contravening the rules and regulations as a personal liability on the tourists is
paramount. For the second challenge, establishing suitable diplomatic relations with
the source countries and contextualizing the nature of the legal frameworks of
policies is necessary. As such, employing a collaborative stakeholder approach in
pacifying compliance with the government policies on Cannabis within the city is
crucial.
Supporting the development and implementation of the policy changes and
improvements of the existing laws presents a chance for ripping the benefits of drug
tourism for the city. In addition to preventing the breach of existing laws on drugs
and substance abuse, the proposed solutions promise to limit the chance of negative
diplomatic interactions associated with the implementation of the laws within the
city. As the city embraces the provisions of the recreational use of Cannabis and
accepts drug tourists to partake in the new policies, it is important to streamline the
laws and implementation policies while avoiding negative legal and political
liabilities that may arise in the process. Your timely and immediate support as the
area representative will be paramount in ensuring the success of the proposed
interventions.
