The French may like wine, but cannabis is complicated. Following months of uncertainty and doubt, thousands of medical cannabis patients in France can now breathe a sigh of relief after the government finally approved the use of medical marijuana. This decision marks a significant step forward in the country's drug policy reform.
The average age of cannabis users is increasing. Weed may fall out of fashion before it becomes legal everywhere.

With so many people consuming cannabis in France, it begs the question, when will France pass an adult-use legal measure? Public opinion on cannabis has shifted in recent years, with a growing number of French citizens supporting recreational legal. The government faces pressure to address this issue in a way that balances public health concerns and individual freedoms.
France tiptoes into the medical cannabis industry, but legal needs to be implemented. The French government issued a decree last year allowing the use of medical marijuana for certain conditions, but the process of implementing a comprehensive medical cannabis program is still ongoing. This slow progress reflects the complex regulatory framework surrounding cannabis in France.
