Look up a licenseHow cannabis is sold in Langnau im Emmental
The trap in Langnau is arriving at the Bahnhof Apotheke expecting to buy: it dispenses cannabis medicines against a prescription only.
What to check first
- Have the prescription in hand. Since 1 August 2022 any licensed Swiss doctor may prescribe cannabis medicines, and no federal exemption is needed.
- Match the product to the pharmacy. Bahnhof Apotheke at Dorfstrasse 2 has dispensed dronabinol drops since 2007 and Swiss hemp tinctures since 2011, per its Cannaplant site.
- Check the ownership. Cannaplant joined the Galenica network in November 2022, via this pharmacy.
- Ask your insurer before the first fill. Cover is decided case by case.
A village pharmacy with a specialist unit
Langnau im Emmental is a rural town, and having a compounding unit for cannabis medicines is unusual for a place this size. The pharmacy's site names its lines as dronabinol drops and preparations from Swiss hemp, and the register adds that it is part of Galenica. Swissmedic moved medical cannabis from a prohibited to a controlled narcotic in 2022. There is no recreational sale here: Swiss law treats cannabis above 1% THC as a narcotic outside authorised trials and prescriptions, and the nearest trial is in Bern, closed to new participants. The Bern canton page has the wider picture.
