The store's block and its neighbours

24heures described the location as the quarter where dealers work, which fits the trial's logic of moving users from illegal sellers to a supervised counter. The same paper reported the store had been a tattoo parlour. Registered users grew from 250 at launch to about 1,200 within a year, nearly fivefold. Verdex marks the store verified, with no score yet, and prices are not on the register. Because enrolment is by residence, tourists are turned away. For the mechanics compare the Swiss pilot guide, and the Vaud page for the canton.
