The German parliament supported the cannabis legalization

After a decade of public discussions, the Bundestag adopted the partial cannabis legalization in Germany this Friday (February 23).


Until recently, the Government's plans for controlled use with numerous restrictions were criticized from several sides. Legalization was supported by 407 deputies, and 226 of them were against it.

The new rules will be valid from April 1, 2024. 

Cultivation and possession of certain quantities for personal consumption will be allowed for adults from April 1, 2024.

Adults over the age of 18 are generally allowed to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis for personal use in a public place. 

Cultivation of three cannabis plants and possession of up to 50 grams of cannabis for personal use are also allowed.

Public consumption should be prohibited, among other things, in schools, sports facilities and in the vicinity of these facilities - more precisely 100 meters as the crow flies from the entrance to the facility. Weed smoking is prohibited in pedestrian zones until 8 p.m.

There will be "non-profit" associations that are allowed to grow cannabis together and sell it to members for personal use.

The originally planned "licensed specialized stores", i.e. cannabis stores where citizens over the age of 18 can legally buy the drug, will not exist for the time being. Distribution in stores is planned in the second step, but only with scientific support in regional model projects. It was said that the Government agreed on this after discussions with the European Commission.
