Germany legalized cannabis in April, allowing adults to possess up to 25 grams and grow three plants at home. Starting July 1, regulated “cannabis clubs” can distribute up to 50 grams monthly to each of their 500 members. However, clubs like Mariana Cannabis must first obtain licenses, delaying operations for up to three months. The government aims to curb the black market with this gradual approach. While legal cannabis sales in other countries have reduced black market activity, concerns persist about potential political changes that could impact the industry’s future.
