Government to discuss regulated sale of kratom and cannabis and nomination to EIB

A proposed regulation allowing the regulated sale of kratom and cannabis with a THC content of up to one percent in Czechia, starting in July, will be discussed at today's cabinet meeting. Since 2025, the sale of low-risk substances has been regulated under the Psychomodulants Act. The European Commission is currently reviewing the accompanying regulations. Ondřej Jakob, a spokesperson for the Health Ministry, said that the discussion of the regulation will likely be postponed after receiving the EU notification.

Ministers are also expected to approve the appointment of Marek Mora, former Deputy Governor of the Czech National Bank (CNB), as Vice President of the European Investment Bank (EIB).
