Polish Lawmakers Send Marijuana Decriminalization Petition To Prime Minister Amid Regional Reform Movement

A Polish legislative committee has forwarded a non-binding petition to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, recommending the decriminalization of marijuana possession (up to 15 grams) and the cultivation of one cannabis plant for personal use.

This move by the Parliamentary Committee on Petitions aims to urge the government to reevaluate current criminal policies regarding cannabis, marking a potential shift in Poland’s approach to marijuana.


Prime Minister Tusk has 30 days to respond, outlining any intended actions or explaining reasons for inaction. Activists opted for this petition over a formal bill, fearing a potential veto from President Andrzej Duda. However, they see the petition as a way to encourage policy debate, especially with the upcoming presidential election in May, which could shape the issue's future.


Poland’s discussions on cannabis reform follow medical cannabis legalization in neighboring Ukraine, where it was recently legalized in response to the ongoing war with Russia, and Germany’s phased legalization approach. In Germany, cannabis social clubs have already begun distributing marijuana, with further commercial expansion anticipated under a comprehensive legalization plan
