Moreover, in light of the liberalisation of cannabis policy in North America [25,26], the option of recreational legalisation is broadly discussed in many European countries (see e.g. [27,28]). In fact, Luxembourg announced a decision to legalize the sale of cannabis for recreational use in 2019 [29]. In the same year, the Netherlands passed a controlled cannabis supply experiment bill which will evaluate the impact of legalising the supply of cannabis for recreational use in an experimental design [30]. Lastly, legislative changes towards decriminalization have been implemented in 2001 in Portugal [31] and more recently in Czechia [32].
