LUXEMBOURG ROLLS OUT CAUTIOUS PILOT SCHEME
Luxembourg, nestled between France, Belgium and Germany, has long suffered from the domination of neighbouring countries. The end result is a proud national motto “Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn” which translates directly as “we want to remain what we are”.

However, when it comes to cannabis legislation, Luxembourg is following directly in the footsteps of their Northern neighbours.

This week, we look at the the new 2-year pilot scheme announced in early 2018 and what patients can expect from the Grand Duchy.

Cannabis Europa, a conference dedicated to shaping the future of medical cannabis in Europe, will take place on 22nd May at the Barbican in London.
