Czech Republic: Home growth, psychedelics to be legalized next year

Citizens in the Czech Republic will soon be permitted to grow pot plants at their place of residence and reflect upon their lives in clinical settings after ingesting magic mushrooms.

Lawmakers in the lower house of the European country agreed to overhaul cannabis and psychedelics laws last week as part of extensive drug reforms being implemented. They are aimed at relaxing penalties for minor offences and reducing strain on the domestic prison system. The amendments still need to be approved by the Senate, but dissent is not expected there or at President Petr Pavel's desk thereafter.

"We achieved a historic victory in the lower house of parliament," said Czech Safe Cannabis Association Chairman Tom Vymazal.

Czech weed enthusiasts will be allowed to cultivate up to three plants, possess up to 100 grams of flower at home and keep 25 grams on them in public starting in 2026. Cannabis has been decriminalized in the country for the past 15 years, but citizens were only authorized to have up to 15 grams. Nonetheless, dispensaries will not be popping up throughout Czechia anytime soon.
