Czechia is set to introduce regulated sales of kratom and cannabis with up to 1 percent THC starting in July 2025.
This development follows the implementation of the Psychomodulatory Substances Act earlier this year, which establishes a new legal framework for regulating certain psychoactive substances.
The move, however, does not legalize the recreational use of cannabis with higher THC levels, which remains prohibited. Here’s a breakdown of the new regulations, how they will work, and how they compare to laws in other countries.
What substances are being regulated?
The regulation focuses on substances deemed to pose low public health and social risks based on current scientific evidence. These include Kratom and kratom extracts, known for their stimulant and pain-relieving effects; cannabis with up to 1 percent THC, a low-potency form of cannabis with minimal psychoactive effects. Cannabis extracts and tinctures with up to 1 percent THC are also included.
