-Already on December 2, 2021, we had founded the spin-offAssociation "Legalize it Social Club" to participate in the planned Zurich cannabis pilot study. We hoped to be able to hold a GV on the occasion of the first anniversary and to be able to enjoy the finest weed from good Swiss cultivation, legally.

 Our Social Club was able to actively participate in the process. Thus, we provided valuable input for the questionnaire from the point of view of the users, produced visual material for the questionnaire and sat in on the interviews to select the future producers. Our Social Club was able to actively participate in the process.

 Then the ball was in the FOPH's court and this forced us to wait. The challenge is that certain work can only be done after we have written permission from the FOPH and it is clear when we can start. So we held back on looking for a suitable clubhouse, because what do you want to rent if you don't even know when it will start and what the requirements are? Then the ball was in the FOPH's court and this forced us to wait.

 An additional factor is that the cannabis pilot trials are just one of many projects for the city and the FOPH. And practice also shows us again and again that the debate about cannabis usually has low priority.
