The suspense is incredible. Some news sources say legalisation is basically certain (and it's about time!) since the health committee has passed the bill on wednesday. It still has to go through the Bundesrat (federal assembly) and that seems to be where expectations don't quite line up. It will be exciting to see where all of this is going.

Oh, and 4.5 million cannabis users seems a little... "off" to say the least
