-====== Hemp-prosecution 2021: Assessment, figures, graphics ====== 
  
-**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? But beware: More than 20,000 people per year are still prosecuted for hemp!** +====== Statistics 1974 until 2022 ======
- +
-===== 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 "penalty-free minor quantity" cannot in fact be punished, repression has been on the decline. Meanwhile, the numbers have halved since the peak in 2015. That is pleasing, but over 20,000 convictions per year for smoking pot are still very shocking! +
- +
-===== The prosecution of hemp-contraventions 2009-2021 ===== +
- +
-**Contraventions represent the lower level of illegality. This involves the consumption of cannabis and the preparatory acts required for this (purchase, possession, cultivation, import, etc.). Contraventions are punished either with a regulatory fine or with a fine and fees.** +

-===== Overview to the misdemeanor ===== +
- +
-At misdemeanors, there are no such clear trends as at contraventions, mostly there were around 8,000 referrals per year. However, the year 2015 stands out: 3,233 hemp seed cases were reported as misdemeanor. In the meantime, this has leveled off (instead, the new category smuggling at contraventions is now filled with such cases).  +
-The last two years show a significant decrease in misdemeanors. Is this only due to the pandemic or is it really the beginning of the end of hemp repression? +
- +
-===== The prosecution of hemp-misdemeanors 2009-2021 ===== +
- +
-**Misdemeanors represent the higher level of illegality. This involves giving away or selling cannabis, i.e. passing it on. Misdemeanors are punishable by a fine, fees, monetary penalty in daily rates or, in serious cases, imprisonment (conditional or unconditional).** +

-===== The seized hemp products 2021 ===== +
- +
-Again, tons of illegal hemp were seized: almost three tons of hash and four tons of weed, as well as over 100,000 plants. Almost 15,000 cases were counted. These are impressive figures, especially for hash we have reached new heights. +

-===== Repression 2009 bis 2021: Hasch und Gras im Detail ===== +
- +
-**Nach der Übersicht in der letzten Ausgabe wollen wir dieses Mal etwas ­tiefer in das Repressionsgeschehen 2021 eintauchen. Wir beginnen mit einer Übersicht über die Entwicklung der wegen Hasch bzw. Gras ­Verzeigten in absoluten Zahlen.** +
- +
-===== Entwicklung Hasch / Gras ===== +
- +
-Von über 40’000 Verzeigten im Jahr 2013 ging es runter auf rund 20’000. Beim Hasch blieben die Zahlen in etwa stabil. Damit erhöhte sich der ­Anteil der Hasch-Verzeigten an allen Verzeigten. +

-===== Anteile der Altersgruppen bei Hasch und Gras =====  +
- +
-**Wie setzen sich die Verzeigten altersmässig zusammen? Unsere beiden Grafiken stellen dar, wie viele Prozent der Verfolgten aus den vier Altersgruppen stammen. Oben die Anteile bei den Hasch-Verzeigten (braun), unten die Anteile der Gras-Verzeigten (grün).** +
- +
-===== Entwicklung ===== +
- +
-Während der Anteil der über 30-Jährigen beim Hasch abnahm und die Jüngeren zulegten ­(Grafik oben), nahm der Anteil der Älteren beim Gras laufend zu, während er bei den unter ­ +
-30-Jährigen sank (Grafik unten). +

-====== Entwicklung 2009 bis 2021: Hasch-Präferenz nach Alter ====== +
- +
-**Hier zeigen wir, wie viele Prozent der Verzeigten einer Altersgruppe wegen Hasch verfolgt wurden. Auffällig ist die beinahe Umkehrung der ­Alters-Reihenfolge seit 2018: Früher war der Hasch-Anteil bei den Älteren viel höher, heute sind die Jüngeren an der Spitze.** +
- +
-===== Anteil Hasch-Verzeigte ===== +
- +
-Zunächst ging er in al-len Altersgruppen stark zurück, dann stieg er deutlich an. Die Grenzschliessung wegen der Pandemie führte 2020 zu einem Rückgang. +

-====== Statistics 1974 until 2020 ======+
  
 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. There are two periods: The period up to 2008 and the period from 2009 onwards.
