Germany appears to be speeding up its cannabis legalization process. Finance Minister Christian Lindner tweeted cannabis will be legal “soon.” Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said there are a lot of technical details to work out, which are supposed to start this summer. Expect a draft legalization bill sometime before the end of the year. The Germans plan to involve as many players as possible. The government wants coordination with federal states, municipalities, bureaucrats, medical personnel, and civil society associations before making any moves. But this is a case of too many cooks in the kitchen? Or an attempt at speeding up Germany’s cannabis legalization process? The German federal government first announced it would legalize cannabis in November 2021. But since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, speeding up the legalization process has not been a top priority for the coalition government. As far as the details go, there aren’t many. The government said it supports home cultivation. But they also said the government would regulate cannabis sales through licensed stores. No one has any other information regarding the regulations. Will there be THC limits on the products? What about bans on certain products, like edibles? And what about home cultivation? Is that a guarantee?
