From Prohibition to Rational Regulation: The Czech Drug Policy Experiment and a Blueprint for Reform.
Jitka Nykodemová
The talk is followed by a general discussion among saloners on the state of the field of psychedelics and law. Psychedelics and the Law: Where Are We Now & Where Are We Going?
The talk presents the Czech Republic’s pioneering legislative reforms in drug policy – including the strictly regulated legal market for non-medical psychoactive substances (“psychomodulatory substances”), cannabis legalisation progress, and medical psilocybin – as a concrete, replicable alternative to the global prohibition paradigm. It examines how evidence-based, human rights-grounded approaches were translated into national law within existing international legal frameworks, and what other countries and EU Member States can draw from this example.
Upcoming #2:

A regulatory sandbox for psychedelics
Christoph Bublitz
