The second annual Global Cannabis Regulatory Summit brought regulators, policy experts, patient group representatives, and public health leaders together in London with industry representatives and academic researchers.

What Happened in London

Programming was organised around the Summit’s core pillars, Standards and Responsibility, continuing the conversations started at the 2025 Summit and advancing the next steps outlined in the 2025 White Paper.

Delegates representing more than 30 countries worked to advance responsible health-related cannabis regulation, aligning regulatory priorities and identifying shared frameworks that support public health, patient access, and safe innovation. This work now carries into the 2027 Summit in Zürich.
