Donald Trump has commented on Truth Social regarding topics surrounding the US Farm Bill and cannabis regulation. Such statements from influential politicians are relevant, as the Farm Bill – a central piece of US agricultural legislation – also governs the legal treatment of cannabis and related substances such as CBD. Trump's posts can shape the debate around legalization and deregulation in the United States and thereby influence international discussions as well.
For Swiss CBD consumers and the industry, US developments are relevant insofar as the United States is considered a pioneer in cannabis liberalization trends. Changes in US federal legislation can have long-term effects on European and Swiss regulations – for example, when new scientific findings or economic models from the more liberal US market influence European authorities. Switzerland currently regulates CBD through its Narcotics Act, with a THC limit of a maximum of 1 percent. How US policy develops will therefore also be closely monitored by Swiss stakeholders.
