Czech National Anti-drug Coordinator Jindřich Vobořil wants to strictly regulate the Czech cannabis market as cannabis sales should be decriminalized and regulated at the European level.
While adult-use cannabis is not allowed in Czechia, possession and growing at home has been decriminalized since 2010 but is still punishable as a civil offense.
Market regulation and decriminalization of cannabis users were among the topics of the Prague meeting of European anti-drug coordinators, organized under the Czech EU Presidency.
“We hope it will be a coordinated effort to regulate the cannabis market. It is impossible not to talk about it on an EU-wide basis. Prohibition has not proved to be effective enough; we need to look for other models of control. A controlled market may be the only possible solution,” Vobořil said.
