Information from Association Legalize it! (March 2026)

Hello {name}

Some information from Association Legalize it!

The first quarter of the year is drawing to a close. We have published Legalize it! 109 and held our association meeting. We have continued to work on our association archive and clarified our presence at CannaTrade: we will be running a stand and our secretary Sven will be giving a presentation on the CanPG at CannaTrade on May 29 and chairing the panel on the same topic. We have also been busy evaluating the responses to the consultation.

Now it's time for the spring break. Our office will be closed for the two weeks of Easter. We will be back from April 13. We hope you can also relax for a few days.

Here are our web updates from the last few weeks:

23.03.2026 – Our AGM 2026 has taken place

On March 20, we approved the minutes of the last AGM, reviewed the 2025 annual report and approved last year's accounts at our 2026 AGM. As before, we elected Fabian Strodel, Markus Graf, Michael Stapelberg and Sven Schendekehl to the 2026 Board. We look forward to shaping the 36th year of our association together!

16.03.2026 – Realize projects

We want to create majorities for an improvement in the legal situation of hemp in Switzerland. We hold lectures, distribute flyers, create videos, organize campaigns: Different approaches are needed. If you want to do something, develop a project and submit it!

A project has the following three parts:

Goal What is your idea? What is it about? What do you want to do? What do you want to achieve? What is the deadline or timetable for this?
People Who is doing this? What are you willing and able to do? Can you do it alone, do you have other active people, are you still missing active people?
Funds How much money are you bringing in? How much is still missing? What other resources do you need?

It is best to summarize these three points on one A4 page so that interested parties can read your project as quickly as possible. If you have trouble with this: Our secretary Sven will be happy to help!
