Now, Switzerland is taking the next step: In February, the National Council\u2019s Committee for Social Security and Health (SGK-N) presented a draft bill for the comprehensive regulation of cannabis, with a strong focus on public health and youth protection.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Under the proposal, adults would be allowed to legally consume, grow, and purchase cannabis under clearly defined conditions. Sales would be strictly state-controlled and non-profit, with neutral packaging, health warnings, and a THC-based regulatory tax. The cantons would be responsible for oversight and prevention programs. The next step: a detailed explanatory report will be published in summer, followed by a public consultation with stakeholders and associations. This would pave the way for formal legislative proceedings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Netherlands: A Legal Supply Chain to Replace the Grey Zone<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the same time, all eyes are on the Netherlands, where the final phase of the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijksoverheid.nl\/actueel\/nieuws\/2025\/04\/02\/start-van-de-experimenteerfase-experiment-gesloten-coffeeshopketen-wietexperiment-op-7-april\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Experiment gesloten coffeeshopketen<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201d (closed coffee shop supply chain experiment) began on April 7, 2025. In participating municipalities, coffee shops are now allowed to sell only regulated, legally produced cannabis. Until now, cannabis sales have been tolerated, but its production remained illegal \u2014 a contradiction the experiment aims to resolve. The goal is to establish a fully closed, government-monitored supply chain that ensures product safety and weakens the black market.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To help ensure a stable supply, especially of hashish, a temporary grace period has been introduced: for the first two months, authorities will not penalize shops that still rely on unregulated hash. By June, only legally regulated products will be allowed. The entire project is accompanied by an independent scientific study evaluating its impact on public health, crime, safety, and public order.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What Europe Can Learn<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A clear pattern is emerging in both countries: a pragmatic approach to cannabis policy that acknowledges social realities while prioritizing control, prevention, and consumer safety. In the Netherlands, producers are given time to scale up, while Switzerland is building on the experience from its pilot programs to draft a sustainable national policy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What lessons can Germany draw from this? First, that regulation is feasible \u2014 when planned and implemented thoughtfully. Second, that Europe is slowly but surely moving away from blanket prohibition. Instead, real-world models are being developed to show how responsible cannabis regulation can work. Switzerland and the Netherlands are showing the way. It\u2019s time for Germany to take a closer look \u2014 and stop delaying the next phase of its own cannabis policy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;150887&#8243;]<strong>Anything else?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you have specific questions or suggestions for the Cannabis Briefing?
