The Polish Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS) recently revealed that 73.4% of Poles support the decriminalization of cannabis.
This growing support is accompanied by a significant rise in the demand for medicinal cannabis, a sector that has experienced remarkable growth since favorable policies were implemented in 2017.
In 2019, only 2,909 cannabis prescriptions were issued, but this number skyrocketed to 276,807 in 2023, marking a 9,420% increase over that period.
