Cannabis growing and sales legalized in French-speaking Switzerland, except as a drug

THC can't go higher than 1% under new law.

GENEVA / LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – Six of Switzerland's French-speaking cantons have a law as of 27 March covering the agricultural product cannabis, as distinguished from the popular drug marijuana, largely to give police a clearer framework for going after illegal use of the plant.

Farmers can grow cannabis as long as there is a written contract to buy and develop the plants, if there are more than five plants. Merchants can sell products as long as they have legitimate sales licenses.

Hemp, for example, is made from a variety of cannabis that has less than 1 percent THC, the psycho-active compound that gives a high to drug users. Marijuana for popular drug use generally has 3-20 percent THC.

Vaud police, in announcing the news, point out that marijuana consumption remains illegal.
