Swiss capital Bern mulls legalising cocaine for recreational use
![IndiaTimes]()
Friday, 22 December 2023
Switzerland's capital, Bern, is considering a pilot scheme to allow the sale of cocaine for recreational use, a move that has not been tried elsewhere. The idea has received support from the parliament in Bern, but still faces opposition from the city government and will require a change in national law. Switzerland is re-evaluating its approach to drugs after criticism of complete bans. The country has one of the highest levels of cocaine use in Europe. The proposal for a pilot scheme would involve scientifically supervised trials and could lead to potential legalisation in the future.
