As of April 1, 2024, Germany has decriminalized cannabis: possession, consumption, and personal cultivation are now penalty-free. Starting July 1, 2024, cultivation associations (colloquially known as "CSCs, Cannabis Social Clubs") are allowed to cultivate cannabis for up to 500 members and distribute it to their members non-profitably. Additionally, medical cannabis is no longer subject to the Narcotics Act and can now be prescribed by any doctor without the need for Btmg paperwork. What do these changes mean for Germany? Where are revisions urgently needed? And what are the chances for Phase 2, where model projects similar to Swiss pilot projects are planned?
