Swiss patients can legally consume cannabis with a prescription beginning next week, Swiss government officials announced. The move could mean more money, more jobs and eventually, legal marijuana for recreational use.
Under new legislation, doctors will make decisions regarding who will benefit from medical cannabis.
Beginning August 1, patients can legally obtain and consume medical cannabis via a doctor’s prescription under a new amendment to the Swiss Narcotics Act.
Under previous legislation, medical cannabis was legal for treating patients with cancer and neurological disorders, but obtaining it was very difficult. The old system involved providers making their case with the Federal Office for Public Health (FOPH) through a lengthy and paper-heavy process.
At one point in Switzerland’s history it was legal to grow and consume your own marijuana. Malta is the first European country to legalize a similar law.

Sus beneficios van desde curar el insomnio hasta tratar afecciones potencialmente mortales como la epilepsia.
Mientras tanto, la marihuana medicinal parece ayudar a tratar afecciones en las que el dolor crónico es el síntoma principal, como la endometriosis, la cistitis intersticial y la fibromialgia.

Los estudios más recientes sobre los beneficios médicos del CBD pueden sorprenderte: El CBD reduce la gravedad de las infecciones por COVID-19 e incluso puede prevenir la propagación del virus, según un estudio de la Universidad de Chicago. estudiar en la revista Avances científicos. Mientras que fumar un porro de marihuana no hará mucho, tomar regularmente la cantidad adecuada de CBD de grado farmacéutico ayudará a protegerte de contraer COVID-19 y si contraes COVID-19, el CBD ayudará a bloquear su replicación en las células pulmonares y revertir muchos de sus efectos.
CBD? THC? What’s the current status for recreational use
Today, cannabis containing more than 1% THC is classified as an illegal drug in Switzerland and punishable by up to three years of imprisonment and/or a fine. However, products containing 0.99% THC or less are sold in nearly every convenience store. C’Ice Swiss Cannabis Ice Tea is a fairly popular beverage found in most vending machines at train stations.
In 2021, Switzerland announced its intention to legalize cannabis for all uses by allowing residents to produce, cultivate, trade, and consume it. The move was meant to undermine the black market for recreational cannabis by regulating it with quality controls, taxes and rules around advertising to minors.
Although it will have to be approved by both the Swiss parliament and the Council of States before the law is passed, Switzerland is already moving in that direction.
Why Switzerland is the birthplace of LSD therapy
Studies looking at its recreational effects are being launched this summer in Zürich, Basel, Geneva and other Swiss cities at special “cannabis social clubs.” At these clubs, volunteers will consume marijuana and their effects will be studied by researchers from hospitals, pharmacies and the government.
To ensure products are safe, local manufacturers will have to obtain a special permit from the Federal Office of Public Health to produce products with different THC and CBD content.

The economic effect
The new law also allows for the export of medical cannabis for commercial sales, although companies must first obtain authorization from Swissmedic, a government body that surveils Swiss medicines and medical devices.
Legalizing medical marijuana could generate an annual turnover of nearly 1 billion chf and create about 4,400 full-time jobs, according to a University of Geneva study published last month.
By legalizing cannabis for medical purposes, the Swiss government is also seeking to regulate the quality of the product and undermine the marijuana black market – something patients have been using for years, officials say.
The latest move could be just another step closer to total legalization of marijuana in the country, advocates say.
