- | + | ||
- | **Another repression year has been counted out. The numbers were also down in 2021. Is the repression machinery slowly losing its appetite for hemp prosecution? | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===== Preliminary remark on the figures ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Swiss Federal Statistical Office (SFSO) has again changed tables and categories, especially the totals for the accused (which we have published so far) have changed in a way that is no longer comprehensible. Therefore, we now present here the criminal offenses. These figures are slightly higher than the number of accused. | + | |

- | ===== Overview to the contraventions ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | After the lost hemp referendum in 2008, the number of arrests knew only one direction - upwards. Then, starting in 2013, the regulatory fines replaced a portion of the referrals, but the overall numbers remained fairly constant. Since the Federal Supreme Court clarified in 2017 that possession of what the law calls a " | + | |

- | The last two years show a significant decrease in misdemeanor. Is this only due to the pandemic or is it really the beginning of the end of hemp repression? | + | |

- | ===== The prosecution of cannabis violations ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The two graphs (click to enlarge) represent the number of hemp defendants prosecuted for consumption or preparatory acts for personal consumption. Each person is counted only once, even if he or she was reported several times. The left graph shows the different categories of convictions, | + | |

- | ==== Import of hemp seeds: from misdemeanor to contraventions ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Another year in which customs fished out hemp seeds envelopes en masse and arrested those involved: 2020 shows the second highest figure (the record year 2015 is still at the lonely top). In addition to the annual number of arrests, we also show the type of report. | + | |

- | **In our chart on the left, we have listed defendants who have been charged with handling hemp seeds. On the one hand, those accused of **contraventions** (in light red), and on the other, those accused of **misdemeanors** (in purple). | + | |
- | The lockdown seems to have inspired many to order hemp seeds. Well, that was not a good idea, customs reports everything they find. **Almost 2,500 people were affected in 2020.** However, while in 2015 the majority were still reported for an misdemeanor right away, now the vast majority are finally only reported for contraventions (change from purple to light red). | + | |

- | ==== Hashish share: big drop after revival ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **The older ones got into smoking pot with hashish. But over the years, this has become almost irrelevant: weed took over the market. Then there was a resurgence and hashish increased in all age groups. But the lockdown prevented imports and the hash rate dropped drastically. | + | |
- | ** | + | |
- | **Hash share among misdemeanor defendants by age group, 2009 to 2020.** | + | |
- | 2020 is a special repression year: the lockdown temporarily halted hash sales, and the borders were tight. This drastically **trimmed back** the increase in **hash**. But not only that: traditionally, | + | |
- | **The oldest now have the smallest hash share, with 18-24 year olds clearly taking the top spot.** Were the older ones using less and not getting busted more? Did the younger ones have better connections to find something in these difficult times after all? The reason is not really clear, but this shift is remarkable. | + | |

Here are more articles about statistics. There are two periods: The period up to 2008 and the period from 2009 onwards. The figures for the two periods are only comparable to a limited extent. The figures for the previous year are published at the end of March each year. | Here are more articles about statistics.
