30th January 2023
Slovenia: An amendment to the narcotics list was issued last week to include several minor synthetic cannabinoids – including, for example, ADB-BUTINACA, ADB-4en-PINACA, ADB-5Br-INACA and ADB-FUBIATA – as scheduled substances, making them subject to the narcotics regime.13th December 2022
Slovenia: In answer to a parliamentary question on its attitude to recreational cannabis, the Ministry of Health said legalisation elsewhere had led to an increase in hospitalisations due to cannabis abuse, and to cannabis poisoning among children, and failed to put a stop to the black market. It said deregulation of cannabis had led in some countries to an increase in the simultaneous use of alcohol and cannabis, that cannabis users were more likely to have an unhealthy diet, and that cannabis use was associated with an increased likelihood of taking up smoking.
14th November 2022
- Slovenia: MP and vice-president of the National Assembly Nataša Sukić submitted a parliamentary question on 10th November asking the minister of health whether she believes that regulated access to cannabis for recreational use, together with a clear declaration of allowed varieties, THC content, age limits, advertising bans and the introduction of a special dedicated tax could contribute to a more responsible use of cannabis and less negative consequences of its abuse. Sukić also asked the minister whether she thinks recreational cannabis would bring worse negative effects than tobacco, alcohol or sugary drinks. The period given to answer the parliamentary question is 30 days.
14th November 2022
- Slovenia: Nataša Pirc Musar won the second round of the presidential elections yesterday with 54% of the votes in favour, becoming the first female president of Slovenia. Pirc Musar, who ran in the elections as an independent, positioned herself in October 2022 in favour of cannabis legalisation: "so many scientific studies and researches have been done to date, in which it has been concluded that marijuana is not as evil as they said in the old days", she said.
16th May 2022
- Slovenia: Medical cannabis – production of which is expected to be state-organised – is among the plans in the programme of the new coalition government formed after the parliamentary elections of 24th April, according to local press. Slovenia currently allows medical cannabis, but lacks a specific regulatory framework that addresses the production and sale, which is governed by rules on medicinal products.
18th February 2022
- Slovenia: A bill amending the Drugs Production and Trafficking Act was rejected in the Health Committee of the National Assembly, according to local press reports. The bill would have replaced the entirety of the cannabis plant, including hemp, on the narcotics list with the definition of cannabis enshrined in the 1961 UN Convention on Narcotic Drugs and would have increased the maximum THC permitted in hemp cultivated for industrial purposes from 0.2% to 1%. During the debate, the state secretary expressed the government’s opposition to the bill, arguing that the bill was a disguised attempt to legalise cannabis and that it would serve as a backdoor for the use of cannabis for recreational purposes.
