Information from Association Legalize it! (March 2024)

Hello {name}

• the 101st issue of our magazine Legalize it! with the annual report and the 2023 financial statements
• the CannaTrade flyer with a discount code for our members

(If you have not received your envelope, please let us know).

As expected, the National Council today rejected the canton of Solothurn's initiative to legalize cannabis.

A sub-committee has already been working on this issue for over two years. The initiative was intended to support this process.

It is truly incredible how many initiatives, discussions and reports on the subject of hemp legalization have already been collected: You can find an overview here.

So a lot is being said and written. But the cannabis ban is still in force and the sub-commission has not yet published a proposal for a new legal text. It would really be appropriate to take at least one concrete, small step now. We have a proposal for minimal freedom.

Our cannabis pilot project has got off to a good start and we can draw a positive conclusion for the first six months. In total, we have sold over 5 kilos of weed flowers and hash (in over 1,000 packs).

We are pleased that most of the products have been well received by us and the participants. We are looking forward to the next selection and harvest for the less successful products.

We would like to thank our current 100 or so participants for their good cooperation and are already looking forward to the remaining 50 latecomers (we still have room!).

Since we were unable to find a consumption room, we are planning to hold some events instead.

Yesterday, we sent the 101st edition of our association magazine Legalize it to the printers. The content mainly consists of the annual report and the 2023 annual financial statements as well as the minutes of our 2024 Annual General Meeting at the end of January. Packaging is scheduled for March 1, and the new issue will reach our members around a week later.

We can still use a few more nimble hands: If you would like to help with the mailing, please get in touch!

We hold a meeting for our members about once a month. We don't usually have a fixed list of topics that we work on. It's more about an informal exchange.

However, our first meeting in 2024 on February 16 will mainly be about vaping: We will have both devices and experienced vapers on site and will provide an insight into this interesting form of consumption. If you are interested, please register, as space is limited.

Our next dates: March 22, April 19, May 3 and June 21

Hemp greetings
