More than 9,000 people in Bern have registered for the study, as announced on Friday. A total of around 700 people can take part in Bern.
Study participants are allowed to purchase cannabis products produced specifically for the study from designated pharmacies for a maximum of 24 months. Similar projects are also underway in the cities of Basel, Zurich and Geneva.
