The rules

Key rules in Switzerland

Plain-language summary. The regulator is Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH/BAG).

  • Legal threshold

    Hemp and CBD products under 1% THC are outside the Narcotics Act; 1% or more is a controlled narcotic.

  • Possession

    Up to 10 g for personal use by adults is not punished.

  • Public use

    Consumption brings a CHF 100 fixed fine for adults carrying under 10 g; trial participants may not use in public either.

  • Home grow

    Growing THC cannabis, even for personal use, remains punishable.

  • Medical

    Doctors may prescribe cannabis medicines without FOPH approval since August 1, 2022.

  • Pilot trials

    Legal purchase only for enrolled adults (18+) in authorised trials, restricted to local residents; one trial per person.

  • Driving

    Zero tolerance: 1.5 µg THC per liter of blood or more means unfit to drive; licence withdrawn for at least 3 months.

How it works

How 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.
