Understanding cannabis.
With facts.
With science.

Independent research for a clear cannabis debate.

Swiss Cannabis Research is a non-profit organisation that promotes independent scientific research into the recreational use of cannabis.
Our goal is to create evidence-based foundations for policy, society and prevention — free of prejudice, ideology and commercial interests.
We aim to enable a factual, responsible and transparent cannabis debate.

Our Mission

We initiate and accompany independent studies, foster transparent dialogue, and provide the knowledge that policy, society and prevention need as a reference point for future-oriented regulation.

Our goal is to enable fact-based frameworks that put health, responsibility and knowledge at the centre.

To this end, we connect research, healthcare, education and policy in order to support effective prevention and information work, and to strengthen public discussion.

Research

Through our studies and pilot projects on the recreational use of cannabis, we provide a frame of reference for policy, professionals and society at large, and contribute to a better understanding of consumption behaviour, risks and impacts of cannabis use — both on individuals and on society as a whole.

Society

We promote public exchange and break down prejudice. Through publications, events and accessible communication, we strengthen the dialogue on the opportunities and risks of cannabis.

Prevention

We inform about the possible risks of consumption and support measures that promote responsible, conscious use. Information and prevention should be scientifically grounded, not ideologically motivated.

Future

We deliver the knowledge that is indispensable for modern regulation. Our work contributes to developing frameworks that put health, responsibility and knowledge at the centre — as the foundation of a future-oriented cannabis policy.

Our pilot projects

Swiss Cannabis Research accompanies the first Swiss pilot projects on the regulated recreational use of cannabis. These projects deliver valuable scientific data that support policy and society in developing modern regulation.
