New campaign promotes regulated cannabis market in Czechia

A new campaign, "Je to OK!", led by former national anti-drug coordinator Jindřich Vobořil, highlights the preventive and financial benefits of a regulated cannabis market. The campaign focuses on patient protection, decriminalization, and child safety, with videos distributed mainly on social media. Health Minister Vlastimil Válek (TOP 09) expressed support for a regulated market but emphasized the importance of ensuring access to medical cannabis for patients. Vobořil has proposed legislation for legal cannabis cultivation and sale. The government aims to align substance regulations with their harm levels, though opposition remains from some parties.
