What if I’m on a waiting list?

Tell the trial about your new address even if you do not have a place yet. Ask whether you are still eligible to be considered.

Do I need new proof of residence?

Ask the study team which documents it needs after a move and how recently they must have been issued.

Can I still buy while I’m waiting for a reply?

Check your eligibility with the dispensing site before your next purchase. A study card that still looks valid cannot confirm that on its own.

Can I stay in a Swiss cannabis pilot trial if I move?

If you’re moving while enrolled in a Swiss cannabis pilot trial, ask your dispensing site or study team whether your new address is within the study area and whether you can keep buying through the trial.

To enrol in a Swiss pilot trial, you must live in the canton where the trial takes place. Some studies cover a smaller area. Moving within the same canton can therefore affect your eligibility.

Where you’re moving	What to check
Within the study area	Report your new address. Ask whether you need fresh proof of residence and whether you can keep buying as before.
To another municipality in the same canton	Ask the study team whether your new municipality is within its study area.
To another canton	Report your move before your next purchase and ask when your participation and purchasing eligibility end.

Who should you tell about your move?

Züri Can requires participants to live in the city of Zurich. A move to Schlieren, for instance, takes you out of the city even though you stay in the same canton. Züri Can asks participants to report a move out of the city to their dispensing site. Give your moving date and new municipality, then ask what proof is needed and when purchasing ends.

Can you join a different trial after moving?

Ask the new trial which areas it covers, whether it has places and what its eligibility criteria are. Confirm your departure from the first study and any new enrolment separately. Your place does not transfer. Private club membership is separate and does not by itself qualify you to buy trial cannabis.
