Radio 100,7 seemed to have accurately reported the government's plans for legalising recreational cannabis in their report back in February.
The government plans to have 14 marijuana sales points, limiting customers on a personal allowance of 30 grams of cannabis flowers per month.
MP Françoise Hetto-Gaasch (CSV) submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister of Health in the aftermath of the radio's publication, with minister Paulette Lenert acknowledging that the information broadly encompassed the government's project.
The minister did go to great lengths to stress that the project is only a preparatory document, thus the legislative project is at a very early stage. She added that the content of the document could change in the months to come.
Proving that the government is taking its time to develop the project in detail and with a fine comb, the file is one destined to go through all kinds of analysis. The Ministries of Health and Justice opted to deepen the international and interministerial consultation, the minister wrote.
Given the early stage of the project, the government aims to finalise a 'rigorous concept', Lenert stressed. It is only once this has been developed that the Chamber of Deputies will receive the draft bill.
