Can you grow cannabis at home in Switzerland?

Growing depends on narcotics law and how the specific plant is classified.

CannabisGesetz.ch editorial deskPublished 7 Nov 2026Reviewed 7 Nov 2026

Context

The small-quantity possession rule gives no general permission to grow high-THC plants. Before growing, check the intended use, classification and any required authorisations separately.

What to check

Home growing provisions in the preliminary CanPG draft belong to the reform debate. Refer to the legislation in force for any activity today.
