Cannabis consumption in France is more common than in many other parts of the world, as demonstrated by recent survey data that was collected and analyzed by the French Observatory of Drugs and Addictive Tendencies. <\/p>\n
In its most recent\u00a0survey\u00a0involving adults aged 18 to 64, the French Observatory of Drugs and Addictive Tendencies found that 10.6% of the survey participants reported having consumed cannabis within the last year. <\/p>\n
With so many people consuming cannabis in France, it begs the question, when will France pass an adult-use legalization measure?<\/p>\n
The same survey by the French Observatory of Drugs and Addictive Tendencies, which was conducted in conjunction with the Sant\u00e9 Publique France agency, found that 47.3% of the survey participants reported having consumed cannabis at least once in their lifetime. <\/p>\n
To put these numbers into perspective, United States\u00a0survey data\u00a0indicates that roughly 49% of adults report having consumed cannabis at least once in their lifetime, and roughly 12% report being an annual consumer.<\/p>\n
Yet, whereas the U.S. is trending in the right direction when it comes to cannabis reform, the same cannot be said about France. Late last year France lifted a\u00a0previously implemented ban\u00a0on CBD products, however, that is clearly not enough. <\/p>\n
Even with legalization looming across the border in Germany, leaders in France are indicating that they want to take a \u2018wait and see\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach is currently lobbying the European Union to gain approval for Germany to proceed with an adult-use legalization measure that would result in the launch of nationwide legal adult-use cannabis sales. <\/p>\n
