A proposal to regulate cannabis is imminent in the Czech Republic. The People's Party is concerned
The discussion of the law is also ongoing with coalition parties
Monday, December 19, 2022
In mid-January, the Czech National Drug Coordinator Jindřich Vobořil plans to introduce a bill to free up the cannabis market. The exact form of regulation is currently being drawn up by working groups, after which Vobořil will seek public and political support. However, this is currently lacking among the People's Party, which considers the relaxation risky. "We have to deal with complex topics like Schengen," Vobořil said. With the People's Party, which has 23 seats in the lower house, despite the willingness to discuss a specific proposal, friction can be expected. "We do not agree with the general legalization of cannabis. However, we support its use for medicinal purposes."
