That is if the government adopts a proposal by former national drug coordinator Jindrich Voboril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Voboril pitched the idea of using cannabis clubs as a form of treatment centers for cannabis addicts at a conference in Prague today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industrial hemp and medical cannabis are legal in the Czech Republic. Mr. Vobo\u0159il cited Barcelona&#8217;s rollout of cannabis social clubs as a successful example of the program. &#8220;It is a low-threshold approach, which has various options, which may include, for example, health supervision. He is convinced that this can solve the problems of &#8220;intensive cannabis users&#8221; without significant budget outlays and reduce the black market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In mid-May, the government approved a national strategy against addiction by 2027. The proposal initially contained a paragraph on cannabis for recreational purposes, but it was removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to last year&#8217;s report on drug use, cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug in the Czech Republic. About a third of adults have tried it in their lives and about a tenth in the last year. Last year&#8217;s survey among doctors showed that 93,000 people have problems with cannabis use. The government&#8217;s strategy mentions 125,000 risky users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National drug coordinator Jarmila Vedralova said that almost a third of 16-year-olds have tried cannabis and nearly a quarter in the last year. More than half of eighteen-year-old use marijuana. Vedralova pointed out that there are almost 300 programs in the Czech Republic with services for addicts, but outpatient care is missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit: CTK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cannabis social clubs could be coming to Prague soon.
