Price per gram — real 2026 medians
Premium flower: club CHF 8–10, CBD shop CHF 12–15 (≤1 % THC only), street CHF 15–20. Premium hash: club CHF 10–12, shop CHF 14–18, street CHF 18–25. 1 g vape cartridge: club CHF 45–60, shop CHF 60–80, street rare.
Quality and safety
Club: 100 % of batches lab-tested for pesticides, mould, heavy metals, THC/CBD content. Shop: ≤1 % THC legally, analytics common but not always per batch. Street: never systematically tested — adulterants and mould are real risks.
Legality
Club: legal as an association under Swiss Civil Code, distribution only to members for personal use. Shop: legal for ≤1 % THC products, prescription required for medical use. Street: buying is illegal, fine and record risk.
When each channel makes sense
CBD shop for occasional non-psychoactive use. Club for regular use with effect, price savings and quality guarantee. Street: never recommended — every legal channel is cheaper and safer.
