Este fin de semana es una historia de tres festivales, y mucho más.

The UK imported more than 30 tonnes of medical cannabis products in 2025, doubling imports for the second consecutive year. Canada now supplies up to 80% of the market, while Spain's share has collapsed. Telemedicine dominates prescriptions, and the market is projected to approach £1 billion within four years.

Este fin de semana en realidad comienza antes de tiempo, ya que dos grandes festivales arrancaron el jueves, además de una agenda repleta de actividades durante los próximos días.

Spain has one of Europe's most unusual cannabis frameworks. Private personal use and cultivation are generally not criminal offenses, while public possession or consumption can trigger fines of €601–€30,000. Cannabis clubs operate in a legally uncertain area, medical access remains limited, and CBD rules are restrictive. Trafficking remains a criminal offense.

The LGBTQ Film Festival and ImprovCon will be getting ready to begin by the time you read this, on top of events all over town.

Germany's medical cannabis imports reached a record 67.6 tons in Q1 2026 after figures were revised upward from 50.5 tons. The 33.7% adjustment overturned earlier claims of a market slowdown.

Zurich has extended its Züri Can cannabis pilot until October 2028, with the city council voting 101–13 in favor. The controlled study now involves more than 2,300 participants and has recorded nearly 88,000 legal transactions. Officials highlight reduced illegal-market activity, while researchers seek longer-term health data to inform future cannabis policy.
