Germany’s Evolving Cannabis Landscape in 2025
LOS ANGELES- In 2025, Germany’s cannabis sector is experiencing significant developments following the enactment of the Cannabis Act (Cannabisgesetz) on April 1, 2024. This legislation permits adults aged 18 and over to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis in public, store up to 50 grams at home, and cultivate up to three plants for personal use. Additionally, non-profit Cannabis Social Clubs with a maximum of 500 members have been established, allowing collective cultivation and distribution among members.
The medical cannabis market in Germany continues to expand, with projected revenues expected to reach $534.10 million by 2025. This growth is attributed to increased acceptance of medical cannabis treatments and the simplification of prescription processes.
Looking ahead, Germany plans to initiate regional pilot projects for adult-use cannabis commerce in 2025. These trials aim to assess the impact of regulated sales and gather data to inform future policy decisions.
