Politics City of Zurich draws positive interim balance of cannabis study

Around a year after the start of the city of Zurich's cannabis study, those responsible have drawn a positive interim balance. Around 2100 participants have so far legally consumed 300 kilograms of cannabis products.

Initial results show a high level of satisfaction with the product and prevention services offered at the 21 dispensaries, as announced by the City of Zurich's Department of Health and Environment on Thursday.

Since August 2023, registered participants have been able to legally purchase cannabis products at the points of sale. These are pharmacies, social clubs and the City of Zurich's drug information center. With around 2,100 participants, the study is well utilized.

According to the press release, many participants took advantage of the advice offered at the points of sale to reconsider their cannabis consumption.
