Historical timeline: Poland is known for being one of the the earliest European countries to begin cultivating Cannabis sativa. Studies show cannabis cultivation in Poland 5,500 years ago and it was certainly being cultivated 1,000 years ago, in the Middle Ages, for fibre and possibly for medicinal use. Cannabis was banned in Poland in the 20th century. They signed on to the 1925 International Opium Convention. In 1930 identified cannabis in legislation as harmful to health. In 1951, Eastern Bloc-era Poland classified cannabis as a narcotic. In subsequent years passed legislation that criminalised the production and distribution of this fateful plant. Possession wasn’t criminalised until 1997. In 2011, the country passed laws that gave prosecutors the option of not charging for small quantities of cannabis assumed to be for personal use. However, this legislation was paired with laws that increased the maximum jail sentences for possession of large quantities of cannabis, or ...

While Dutch authorities allow the sale of recreational cannabis in coffee shops, cultivation and wholesale for that market remains completely illegal. They are however now planning to become the first country in Europe to allow commercial production of adult-use marijuana – under  what they call wietexperiment (weed experiment). In other words a limited number of companies would be allowed to legally grow marijuana to supply coffee shops in the country that would, in turn, sell the products to consumers. These licenses will only be released from early 2020 and the requirements for such companies would be having a business plan in place, responsible for the cultivation, quality control, packaging, transport, etc. The experiment in question is no simply undertaking. Here is an outline of the facts and what will take place to achieve this temporary experiment: Currently, the Netherlands has 573 coffee shops spread over the 103 municipalities that allow them. The experime...

Portugal is ideal for its Californian type climate for cannabis cultivation, the country’s young, educated workforce and its major agricultural sector. Cannabis possession was decriminalized in 2001 in Portugal, but it later fell behind other approved countries in legalizing cannabis for medical purposes. It was only approved on 15 June 2018 for medical use, and Decree No. 8 was published in the official gazette on 15 January 2019 creating new legislation governing the cultivation, extraction, commercial preparation, local distribution, import and export, transit and sale of cannabis.
