- CBD flower under 1% THC is legal and sold in shops, but exporting it across the EU border can trigger seizure abroad.
- Use of cannabis is decriminalised below 10g and fined CHF 100, but supply and import remain criminal offences.
JURISDICTION NOTES
- Each of the 26 cantons applies its own knife and weapons rules, with Zurich and Geneva stricter on carry than rural cantons.
- Pilot cannabis trials run in Basel, Zurich, and Lausanne under federal authorisation, but possession outside the trial remains a fine.
