The President of the Czech Republic has signed a bill that decriminalizes adult-use cannabis for personal use and home cultivation, but not its sale. President Petr Pavel signed several laws on July 17, including one that amends the Criminal Code to ease restrictions on recreational cannabis, allowing possession and home cultivation.
Under the new regulations, adults over the age of 21 can legally grow up to three cannabis plants per person and possess up to 100 grams of cannabis flower, with a public possession limit of 25 grams.
Cannabis-related offenses involving amounts exceeding the legal limits will be addressed in a separate section of the Criminal Code. Possession of cannabis on behalf of another person will also no longer be considered a criminal offense.
The lower house approved the amendment in June, followed by Senate approval earlier this month. The legislation will take effect next year. However, the sale of cannabis products will remain prohibited.
