Winter 25/26

23.02.2026 – Hanfstübli for 2.5 years

Our Hanfstübli (part of the Zurich pilot project Züri Can) has now been open for 2.5 years. We have been able to sell 42 kg of tested goods (currently three types of hash and eight types weed) to our almost 150 participants. Ten years ago, something like this would have been completely unimaginable.

No major problems have arisen. Sometimes a strain is out of stock, occasionally someone has to be sent home because their student ID has been forgotten (without this, there is no sale).

There is an exchange among the participants about considered consumption that is appropriate to the situation. The participants are happy that they no longer have to buy untested goods on the black market.

It is real proof that controlled cannabis sales are possible. With some effort, of course: the work has to be very clean, every bag of 5 grams has to be registered, the strict regulations require a complete inventory every month. But it works!

16.02.2026 – The Legalize it! 109 is at the printers

The 109th issue of our association magazine is in print. If all goes well, it will reach our members at the beginning of March.

In it, we will once again remind you of our association meeting on March 20, publish the annual report 2025 and the annual accounts for the past year and present the new opportunities for projects.

09.02.2026 – Consultation responses CanPG

The overview of the consultation responses to the Cannabis Products Act (CanPG) was published at the beginning of February. It's a big chunk: the PDF comprises 2,830 pages.

Many cantons want more money for their work, some parties are fundamentally against it, and a number of responses want minor or major changes… This is unlikely to move forward quickly.

Above all, we can see that although the CanPG was well thought out during its development, majority support was not the main approach. Now it remains to be seen which parts of it can find a majority in parliament.

In our policy group, we look at such documents together and develop projects to improve the current situation. If you would like to join us, please get in touch!

27.01.2026 – Study on driving and THC

Zero tolerance for THC in road traffic has been in force for 20 years. As soon as THC is detected in the blood, a person is considered unfit to drive, even if no impairment is apparent. It hardly seems possible to establish a meaningful effect limit for THC in the blood. This new study now aims to find out whether the actual, real impairment can be measured or how it can be determined that the ability to drive is given. You can find more information in this flyer.

19.01.2026 – Cannabis for multiple sclerosis

A new book has been published on the subject of cannabis in MS: How THC gave my legs wings.

This book is both an experience report on the treatment of multiple sclerosis with medical cannabis, as well as a remembrance of the author, who has since passed away, who was able to make her suffering more bearable with hemp medicine.

Esther was a member of our Association for many years. After her death, her sister has now been able to publish this book. Click on the picture to go to the Nachtschattenverlag, where you can order the book.
