Find cannabis in Switzerland

Q: Buying cannabis in Switzerland — what are the rules?

Restricted. Adult-use cannabis sales are limited to authorised pilot-trial participants. Medical prescriptions and low-THC product rules are separate routes; ordinary visitor access to a recreational dispensary is not established.

Q: Possession in Switzerland — what are the rules?

Restricted. Recreational cannabis (over 1% THC) is prohibited, but adult possession of up to 10g for personal use is decriminalized and typically results only in a fixed fine of about CHF 100. CBD products under 1% THC are legal to possess. Conditions: Minimum age 18+.

Q: Medical access in Switzerland — what are the rules?

Medical use only. Medical cannabis requires a prescription and dispensing through the regulated medical supply system. Confirm the particular product and eligibility with the prescriber and pharmacy. Conditions: Prescription or medical card required.

Q: Public consumption in Switzerland — what are the rules?

Prohibited. Public consumption of recreational THC cannabis is not permitted and can draw a fine; legal THC use is tied to the resident-only pilot programs. Low-THC CBD (as a tobacco substitute) is treated more permissively.

Before visiting a club

Find a club nearby and open its listing for the address and contact.
Ask the club whether you can join, what its minimum age is, and whether an introduction or appointment is needed.
Confirm the ID to bring, membership fee and opening hours before setting off.
Ask what is available to members and whether on-site use is permitted. The club decides whether to admit you.

Decriminalized: not a legal market — personal use may still carry administrative penalties.

'Decriminalized' means a fine, not legality; larger amounts and supply remain criminal.
