Since 2017, Switzerland has allowed the production and sale of low THC hemp inflorescences. A market which, however, did not turn out to be the gold mine that some had imagined.
Hemp and its derivatives like THC vape oil 1% are no longer considered as narcotics by Swiss law since 2011.
However, the “boom” of light cannabis only occurred in 2017, when it became possible to produce and market the unprocessed inflorescences of this plant in Switzerland, as long as the THC content does not exceed 1%.
Many saw it as an opportunity, a new “Eldorado”. The five producers registered at the start of 2017 rose to 630 in 2018. But for two years now, something is changing.
