With increasing numbers of countries embracing cannabis, the European Union is launching a toolkit to help national policy-makers frame their adult-use legislation.

In doing so, it is aligning with the continent’s changing cannabis landscape as Germany, the Netherlands, Malta, Czechia, Luxembourg and non-EU neighbour Switzerland, all develop their own recreational cannabis infrastructure.

It is also in tune with an acknowledgement by United Nations bodies that punitive prohibition has failed and needs to be replaced with a harm-reduction approach to drug control.

Created by the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA), the toolkit is to be known as Cannapol, and is designed to deliver an ‘evidence-based’ approach to continental cannabis liberalisation.
