The US state of Delaware has positioned itself as a pioneer on an important issue: The Senate unanimously approved a regulation that allows patients with terminal diagnoses to use medical cannabis during their hospital stay. The bill proposed by Senator Marie Pinkney was passed with 21 votes and takes practical aspects into account, such as storage and administration of cannabis by patients themselves. An important point: The regulation also protects patients from potential federal changes to cannabis regulations.
This development demonstrates that attitudes toward cannabis in a medical context are changing worldwide. While such regulations are emerging in the United States, it is important to note that Switzerland takes a different regulatory approach. In our country, CBD products with a maximum of 1 percent THC are legally available – a strict regulation that ensures quality and safety. In the GreenShop, you will find a carefully selected range of legal CBD and cannabis products that all meet Swiss standards.
Such international discussions show that research and exchange surrounding cannabis continues – in Switzerland as well. We monitor these developments closely and regularly inform our customers.
