GERMANY MOVES TO LEGALIZE CANNABIS—WOULD BE LARGEST EUROPEAN COUNTRY TO DO SO

TOPLINE

German lawmakers on Wednesday approved plans to decriminalize the purchase and
ownership of recreational cannabis, according to multiple news outlets, a
significant step on the road to legalization and an opportunity for the North
American industry to gain a foothold in Europe’s richest and most populous
country.

KEY FACTS

Germany’s federal cabinet reportedly approved a proposal from the health
ministry to legalize the purchase and possession of small amounts of cannabis
for recreational use as well as its sale and production.



The plan, presented by health minister Karl Lauterbach, would allow adults to
purchase and possess up to 30 grams of cannabis for their own recreational
consumption.



PROMOTED



The government would regulate cannabis production, sale and distribution as part
of legalization efforts, Lauterbach said at a press conference, according to
Deutsche Welle.




Cultivation would be limited to two or three plants per person and sales will be
limited to specialist stores.

Advertising and marketing cannabis products will also be banned, according to
the plans.

KEY BACKGROUND

Lauterbach said the proposal makes for “the most liberal legalization of
cannabis in Europe,” according to Deutsche Welle, as well as its “most regulated
market.” The health minister has touted the legalization drive as part of a
“safety first” approach to the drug that acknowledges the drug’s continued use
and health risks alongside the black market currently fueling it. He said the
approach could serve as a model for the whole of Europe, where only a handful of
countries have decriminalized recreational cannabis and only one, Malta, has
legalized it. The framework marks a potential boon for Germany’s young cannabis
industry, as well as the North American firms already profiting from
legalization and are keen to expand.




WHAT WE DON’T KNOW

The cabinet’s approval kicks off a potentially lengthy process to legalize
cannabis. As a member of the EU, German laws must also comply with European
legislation and lawmakers fear a poorly crafted framework could be torn down by
the European Court of Justice. The court has previously said member states
should prevent the sale of cannabis, a possible issue for Germany’s proposal of
government regulation.


WHAT TO WATCH FOR

According to Bloomberg, the German government plans to explore limiting the
amount of THC in products for adults aged 21 and under. THC, or
tetrahydrocannabinol, is a key psychoactive component in cannabis and is
responsible for the drug’s high. Potent weed with higher amounts of THC can have
a greater impact and is associated with more health risks than milder forms of
the drug.
