Traveling with CBD raises many questions. Are you allowed to take CBD products from Switzerland abroad? Do the same rules apply on a plane as they do in a car? And why can a product that’s completely legal in Bern still cause problems at the border? It’s a good idea to do a quick legal […]
At first glance, the terms “cannabis”, “CBD” and “youth protection” hardly seem to be compatible with each other. Particularly in political debates, it is often emphasized that legalization would facilitate access for young people. However, a look at international studies – particularly from the USA and Canada – reveals a surprisingly different picture. Modern legalization […]
A summary of the article about CBD edibles and their legislation in Switzerland by IG Hemp Edibles with CBD, i.e. edible products with cannabidiol, are currently causing a stir. Edibles are being tested in pilot projects in Switzerland– unlike in Germany, where they are banned due to the protection of minors. But what exactly is […]
Who hasn’t experienced it? Not paying attention when cooking and the knife cuts your finger instead of the tomato. The impressive potential of hemp oil with cannabidiol (CBD) is evident in precisely such wounds. The latest findings from a group of researchers at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena suggest that CBD can promote wound […]
Can the cannabis law be abolished so easily? According to Peter Homberg, a complete abolition of the Cannabis Act is rather unlikely. In his assessment, he explains why legal and political hurdles are making a U-turn in cannabis policy more difficult. Cannabis law abolition Homberg assessment?The political race remains exciting and is running at full […]
With the entry into force of the Consumer Cannabis Act (CanG) in Germany, the way cannabis is handled has changed dramatically. The law permits the possession and consumption of certain quantities, cultivation for private use and provides for reduced penalties after the fact. We see similar developments in the USA, where mass pardons have restored […]
A step into the future In recent decades, the debate about the legalization of cannabis in Switzerland has intensified. The Green Party actively campaigned for legalization 30 years ago.

The year 2024 promises a wave of financial changes for Herba di Berna and the entire hemp industry. These changes are due to numerous factors such as rising government levies (VAT), higher insurance costs, price increases for packaging materials, energy and rents. These factors are like an unstoppable tide that presents companies with the challenge […]
The festive season is a feast of food and drink, from one meal to the next, from cookies to chocolate, mandarins and the festive roast. While we usually enjoy the winter festive season with vacations, celebrations and gluttony, our intestines have to work overtime. Cannabinoids can support our intestines in their daily functions and contribute […]
After a long wait, the draft bill for the CanG, the – presumably – future cannabis law in Germany, has made it to the Bundestag. The bill aims to take the first steps toward a legal cannabis market – ideally as early as early 2024. What is in the cannabis law now? Oracles about the […]
At the end of September 2023, the National Council again expressed its support for the concerns of “PI Siegenthaler”.

If things continue to go smoothly, the new regulation of the cannabis market (also called legalization 😉) could thus become a […]
In discussions about cannabis and especially cannabis legalization, one question is asked again and again: Does cannabis lead to psychosis disorders? The answers are often unclear, different or even contradictory. We are trying to provide some clarity. However, there are no absolute truths to be read here either, as these hardly exist as things stand […]
The last few weeks, a new ruling by the Federal Court has been the talk of the town. The highest court ruled that an unpunished amount of cannabis (<10g and exclusively for personal consumption) cannot be seized by the police. This is another step towards the decriminalization of cannabis. In principle, less criminalization of consumers […]
Cannabis has a long tradition as a medicinal plant in Switzerland as well. With the 1951 ban, this application was also lost. No, it was not lost. It was criminalized and withdrawn from the attention of the general public – because medical hemp was and is still used. The MEDCAN association has set itself the […]
In May 2023, the University of Bern’s cannabis pilot project was approved by the Federal Office of Public Health and the cantonal ethics committees concerned.

Since the summer of 2021, it has been clear that pilot trials on the legal use & sale of cannabis will be conducted in Switzerland.

What legalization would bring economically is hardly discussed. However, the topic offers plenty to talk about. The possible legalization of cannabis brings many different issues to the table.

A study has finally been published on the financial advantages […]
The U.S. House of Commons passed the Marijuana Reform Act this spring, which would legalize cannabis nationwide.

Medical cannabis is more accessible in Switzerland today than it was just a few years ago. When this article was first published in December 2020, the National Council had just approved a legislative amendment.
