The Austrian Cannabis Association (ÖCB) is an association concerned with cannabis policy in Austria. It develops its own positions and presents them in public and political debate.
Mag. Klaus Hübner chairs the ÖCB. ARGE CANNA describes him as a science writer and entheogen researcher. A dossier published there documents a dissertation project approved in 2014 in journalism and communication studies.
Our work includes policy advocacy, publishing statements, and providing access to sources and media coverage. We identify our positions as the association’s views; they are not independent legal, medical or business advice.
