Under the new law, adults aged 18 and above will be permitted to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis in public areas and up to 50 grams within the confines of their private residences. Additionally, each household will be allowed to cultivate up to three cannabis plants.
Although the legislation could potentially take effect as early as April 1st, there remains the possibility of delays. The bill must undergo review by the Bundesrat, the legislative body representing German states, and may even be subjected to mediation committee scrutiny, which could prolong the final adoption process.
In light of concerns raised by the European Union, the bill does not provide for the establishment of licensed dispensaries or pharmacies. Instead, it outlines provisions for nonprofit “cannabis social clubs” to cultivate and distribute cannabis to a maximum of 500 members per club. Depending on the bill’s progress, these clubs could commence operations as early as July.
Furthermore, there are discussions underway regarding another bill that would initiate pilot programs for commercial cannabis sales in select German cities, as reported by Marijuana Moment. However, any such legislation would need to be reviewed by the European Commission prior to implementation.
Marijuana Legalization Remains Unclear
Upon its enactment, Germany will become the ninth country worldwide and the third European Union member state to legalize recreational cannabis. Nonetheless, not all lawmakers have embraced the new legislation. Conservative members of the Bundestag have expressed opposition, indicating their intent to repeal legalization entirely should they assume power following next year’s election.
