In a recent CND meeting behind closed doors, participants discussed two of the six WHO recommendations on cannabis: – removal of cannabis “extracts and tinctures” from Schedule 1 to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961. – adding a footnote to the entry for cannabis in Schedule 1 of the 1961 Single Convention to clarify that preparations containing mainly CBD and up to 0.2% THC are not under international control. These changes would represent major progress in opening the market to CBD-based foods and would allow novel food authorization procedures to be processed. It remains to wait patiently for the voting results scheduled for December.

Is prohibition of advertising pharmacies contrary to the EU law?

The ban on advertising pharmacies is incompatible with the fundamental freedoms of the European Union’s internal market – this is the European Commission’s opinion addressed to the Polish government. The Lewiatan Confederation filed a complaint with the European Commission claiming that the ban on advertising of pharmacies in Poland may restrict the freedoms of the internal market. If the Polish government does not rectify the infringement to which the Commission refers in its opinion, the case will be referred to the European Court of Justice. Will there be a return to the past and previous regulations?
