Switzerland’s Marijuana Legalization Pilot Program Is ‘Running Smoothly’ With ‘No Indication’ Of Public Disturbances, Government Report Finds
It’s been two years since the pilot program was launched in seven municipalities
Switzerland’s adult-use marijuana legalization pilot program is “running smoothly,” with “no indication of any disturbances to public order,” a government-commissioned report finds as lawmakers are considering legislation to broadly end cannabis prohibition across the country.
About two years after the pilot program launched in seven municipalities across the country, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) study—carried out by the University of Lausanne and the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland—generally determined that the initiative has been a success.
The study involved an analysis of different regulatory models that include for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations distributing cannabis for adult use.
