What the Federal Council decided on September 26
On September 26, the Federal Council made several decisions that have already been talked about a lot in recent weeks. It was about well-known substances like LSD, a variant of it (1S-LSD), cannabinoids like 10-OH-HHC – and even new rules for road traffic. In short: things that can directly affect many of us. Here are the key points for you.
LSD will be banned
LSD has long been a controversial substance. Now it’s clear: the Federal Council has decided to ban it. When exactly the ban will take effect is still unknown – but it will happen soon. This means: products containing LSD will disappear from the market. If you already have something at home, you usually don’t need to worry, because bans like this generally don’t apply retroactively.
1S-LSD will follow
1S-LSD, a modification of LSD, was also discussed. This will take a bit longer, because it requires its own legislative process. That can take a few months. So 1S-LSD is still available for now, but it’s clear: this is also heading toward a ban.
10-OH-HHC stays legal for now
Beforehand there were a lot of rumors that 10-OH-HHC might also be banned. But in fact, it wasn’t even on the agenda. For the moment, the substance remains legal. It’s still unclear if and when that will change – politicians tackle topics like this step by step.
New smoking and Vape ban in cars
One decision doesn’t just affect people who use these substances, but all of us in everyday life: in the future, you won’t be allowed to smoke or vape in the car if children are on board. Anyone who violates this has to expect heavy fines. The goal is to better protect kids from the effects of second-hand smoke.
Our conclusion
The meeting showed that the rules are getting stricter – both for certain substances and in everyday life. For you, this mainly means staying informed. A lot is changing right now, especially when it comes to cannabinoids, and it makes sense to keep an eye on what’s happening. That way you can react in time and prepare for legal alternatives.
