Poland, historically rooted in conservatism and Catholicism, is experiencing shifting attitudes as evidenced by a decrease in Catholic identification. While cannabis remains illegal for recreational use with strict penalties for possession, a breakthrough in 2018 allowed for the legalization of medical cannabis, leading to significant growth in the cannabis market. However, challenges persist, including reliance on imports for medical cannabis, lack of insurance coverage, and limited availability in pharmacies. Current estimates indicate that well over 2.3 million Poles consume cannabis, revealing a complex landscape of legal and illicit usage amid evolving cultural sentiments.
Poland's cannabis market is experiencing significant growth, with an increase from 2021 and expected to more than double by 2026, despite strict drug laws.
The Catholic Church has shaped Poland’s conservative stance, but changing societal values reflect a decline in Catholic identification, from 87% to 70% in the past decade.
