Cannabis policy & news writer for Alicante Social Clubs

Rob Harley has reported on cannabis law and the non-profit association movement across Europe for the past decade. He focuses on how regulation actually reaches the members who use cannabis social clubs — the paperwork, the limits, and the slow build of public trust. His work for Alicante Social Clubs aims to be accurate, sourced, and free of hype.
