18.11.2025 – Thoughts on fall

Autumn is coming to an end, it's getting cold. The plants outside have been harvested, most of them have probably already dried. I hope only a few have run into legal problems. Repression is a lot weaker than it used to be, even though it still affects thousands of people every year.

Some harvests are now legal: the production for the pilot trials is a first sign that the entire use of hemp could become legal. The draft Cannabis Products Act CanPG is now available. Even if it proposes a very cumbersome regulation: The entire process from cultivation to sale would thus be legally possible.

The evaluation of the consultation responses will show next year whether majorities can be found for this. In any case, nothing is in the bag yet. I hope that everyone will manage to work towards its success. Even if not everyone likes everything.

Ultimately, the CanPG will only be one step towards legalization, albeit an extremely important one. A few more steps will have to follow. It is a long process to leave the decades-old ban behind us.
