Overview of authorised pilot trials with cannabis

Project Cann-L is intended to assess the feasibility and the potential impact of a model for regulating the consumption of cannabis through its sale on a non-profit basis in the city of Lausanne.

The aim of the pilot trial in the canton of Zurich is to investigate the social and economic consequences of legalising recreational cannabis use in Switzerland.

The study to be carried out in Vernier (GE) will investigate to what extent a regulated cannabis access programme can improve knowledge of cannabis use and associated problems, and reduce the health and social risks involved.

The main aim of this pilot trial in Berne, Bienne and Lucerne is to evaluate what impact a regulated not-for-profit sale of cannabis in pharmacies combined with related advisory services may have on cannabis consumption.

Can the structured, controlled sale of cannabis (with points of sale in Liestal and Allschwil) bring about a change in consumption?

This study will investigate how regulated sales, including the provision of advice, can enhance knowledge of lower-risk types of cannabis use and promote such behaviour.

This study on the regulated sale of cannabis in pharmacies in Canton Basel-Stadt is examining the effects in public health terms of permitting regulated cannabis sales.
