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.
L'attrait du CBD s'explique en partie par le fait qu'il s'agit d'un choix plus sûr que la prise d'opiacés, selon une étude de Harvard. Le CBD ne crée pas de dépendance et ne peut pas faire l'objet d'un surdosage. Le CBD peut même être utilisé à la place d'analgésiques tels que l'Advil, qu'une grande partie de la population ne peut pas utiliser en raison d'ulcères d'estomac, de problèmes rénaux et d'autres problèmes gastro-intestinaux. Ses avantages vont de la guérison de l'insomnie au traitement de maladies mortelles telles que l'épilepsie.
Par ailleurs, la marijuana médicale semble aider à traiter les affections où la douleur chronique est le principal symptôme, comme l'endométriose, la cystite interstitielle et la fibromyalgie. Des études montrent qu'elle soulage les symptômes de la sclérose en plaques et atténue les tremblements chez les patients atteints de la maladie de Parkinson, alors que la plupart des opiacés disponibles pour ces patients sont très sédatifs. Les patients affirment que de petites doses de marijuana leur permettent de reprendre leurs activités quotidiennes sans se sentir groggy, selon une étude de Harvard.
Les études les plus récentes sur les bienfaits médicaux du CBD pourraient vous choquer : Le CBD réduit la gravité des infections par le COVID-19 et peut même empêcher la propagation du virus, selon une étude de l'Université de Chicago. étude dans la revue Avancées scientifiques. Si fumer un joint de marijuana ne sert pas à grand-chose, prendre régulièrement la bonne quantité de CBD de qualité pharmaceutique vous aidera à vous protéger contre le COVID-19. Si vous contractez le COVID-19, le CBD aidera à bloquer sa réplication dans les cellules pulmonaires et à inverser bon nombre de ses effets.
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.
