Heidi's Garden Cannabis Social Club in Zürich

If you know Zürich's old town, you'll find Heidi's Garden tucked among the narrow pedestrian lanes by the Limmat. It's a cannabis social club taking part in the federal FOPH pilot trial (ZüriCan-style), so membership is reserved for study participants rather than casual drop-ins. Consumption on-site is allowed for registered participants, not for random visitors. The street outside has the usual mix of cafés, souvenir shops and the odd late-night bar; daytime is busy with tourists, evenings feel more local. I've been inside and it comes across as low-key and functional, more a place to sit and talk than to party. Because it runs under the pilot, the focus is on straightforward access for enrolled members and clear on-site rules. The neighbourhood still shows the old stones and narrow windows that give Zürich's Altstadt its character. If you live nearby and are part of the study, it’s a practical meeting spot without any fuss.
