The law took effect on 1 April 2024, allowing adults to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis in public and up to 50 grams of dried cannabis at home, as well as to cultivate up to three plants for personal use. From 1 July 2024, adult-only non-profit cannabis social clubs with a maximum of 500 members also became legal.
==2015 proposal== ''Entwurf eines Cannabiskontrollgesetzes'' (''CannKG''; "Draft of a cannabis control law") was a bill proposed in 2015 that would remove cannabis from the list of scheduled drugs in Germany's Narcotic Drugs Act. The issue was proposed by Alliance 90/The Greens (the German Green Party) on 20 March 2015. It would regulate cannabis in a manner similar to alcohol, with adults 18 years old permitted to buy and possess up to 30 grams in regulated stores.<ref name=Spiegel2015/><ref name=Welt2015/>
==2022 proposal== A new regulatory framework that would legalise cannabis in Germany was brought out with an ''Eckpunktepapier'' ("cornerstone paper", or framework paper), introduced on 26 October 2022 by Minister of Health and member of the Bundestag, Karl Lauterbach, who is a physician and epidemiologist trained in the United States and Germany.
The 2022 deregulation proposal was leaked around 19 October 2022.<ref name=HanfJournal/><ref name=TAZ/><ref name=Politico/>
==2023 proposal== In March 2023, the former health minister, Karl Lauterbach, reported a positive reaction from European Commission on the plan, and intended to bring a bill forward soon.<ref>{{cite news|title='Cannabis in Germany will be a success story': Europe's biggest economy moves closer to weed legalization|date=22 March 2023 |first=Karen |last=Gilchrist |work=CNBC|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/22/germany-to-introduce-bill-to-legalize-possession-and-sale-of-cannabis.html}}</ref>

=== Development === Details of a leaked version of a new scaled-back plan were published by German newspaper ''Die Zeit'' in late March. The new plan would have experimental controlled legalization in sub-national areas.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Die Zeit|language=de|title=Karl Lauterbach plant Cannabislegalisierung light|trans-title=Karl Lauterbach plans cannabis legalization "light"|author1=Tim Neumann |author2=Tilman Steffen|date=31 March 2023|url=https://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2023-03/cannabis-legalisierung-karl-lauterbach-ampel}}{{subscription required}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |work=Stern|language=de|title=Cannabis-Gesetz lässt auf sich warten – Vorschlag 'in Kürze' |trans-title=Wait longer for cannabis law – details 'shortly' |date=31 March 2023 |url=https://www.stern.de/politik/deutschland/gesundheit--cannabis-gesetz-laesst-auf-sich-warten---vorschlag--in-kuerze--33338418.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331230005/https://www.stern.de/politik/deutschland/gesundheit--cannabis-gesetz-laesst-auf-sich-warten---vorschlag--in-kuerze--33338418.html |archive-date=31 March 2023 |agency=DPA }}</ref>
The new plan was officially announced on 12 April. Provisions included legal possession of up to 25 grams of cannabis, and home- or club-grown cannabis, but did not allow large-scale commercial production and sale of the plant.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Politico|url= https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-focuses-on-home-cultivation-in-reduced-cannabis-legalization-plans-lauterbach-25-grams-thc-cem-ozdemir/ |date= 12 April 2023|title= Germany scales back cannabis legalization plans to focus on home cultivation }}</ref>

According to a YouGov poll in February 2024, 42% of Germans stated that they either somewhat or completely support the bill, while 47% of respondents said they somewhat or completely oppose the bill.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Die Bundesregierung plant, den Besitz, Anbau und Konsum von Cannabis für Volljährige ab dem 1.

===Reception === The issuance of the draft regulations by the Ministry of Health was called a "decisive step toward legalization" by ''Politico''.<ref name=Politico/>
The Deutscher Hanfverband (German Hemp Association) criticised the 15% THC limit in the leaked draft.<ref name=Stern/>
The bill has been criticised by many in the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) because it does not allow for the control of cannabis via sales from licensed stores, which they state would tackle organised crime and reduce the burden on the police.<ref>{{cite news |last1= Zhang |first1= Mona |last2= Wilke |first2= Peter |date= 23 February 2024 |title= German lawmakers pass cannabis legalization bill |url= https://www.politico.eu/article/german-lawmakers-pass-cannabis-legalization-bill/ |work= Politico EU |access-date= 23 February 2024}}</ref> A 2021 study from the University of Düsseldorf concluded that legal sales of recreational cannabis in Germany could raise over $5.3 billion in additional yearly tax revenue and create 27,000 jobs in the country.<ref>{{cite news |last= Sabaghi |first= Dario |date= 23 February 2024 |title= Germany Becomes The Third EU Country To Legalize Cannabis For Personal Use |url= https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2024/02/23/germany-becomes-the-third-eu-country-to-legalize-cannabis-for-personal-use/ |work= Forbes |access-date= 23 February 2024}}</ref>

===Provisions=== Provisions of the October 2022 framework paper include sales in licensed establishments, and personal possession by adults over 18 years of 20 to 30 grams of cannabis without THC content limit. There may be sales limitations regarding persons under 21 years of age.<ref name=RP/><ref name=Zeit/>
===Effect=== The ministry document is intended to have direct effect under [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2015/1535/oj/eng Directive (EU) 2015/1535]. Germany said it would present the framework paper to the European Union before implementing legislation.<ref name=Reuters/>
By October 2025 the ministry had come to the conclusion that fraud was happening with the "Medical Cannabis Act", which is Article 2 of the "Cannabis Act". When comparing the rise in prescriptions for cannabis with the statutory health insurance, in the one digit percentage, to the rise in imports of medical cannabis, some 400 percent from 19 to 80 tonnes in the same time frame, the imbalance was obvious. On 8 October 2025 an amendment was introduced, making a consultation in person with a doctor now mandatory for getting a cannabis prescription. For follow up prescriptions, a patient now needs a new consultation in person with a doctor every year and shipping of medical cannabis is prohibited, with pharmacy delivery services excluded.<ref>{{cite news |work=Federal Ministry of Health|language=de|title=Kabinett beschließt Änderung des Medizinal-Cannabisgesetzes |trans-title=Cabinet approves amendment to the Medicinal Cannabis Act |date=8 October 2025 |url=https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/presse/pressemitteilungen/medizinal-cannabisgesetz-kabinett-pm-08-10-25.html }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |work=FAZ|language=de|title=Wie geht’s weiter mit dem Cannabis? |trans-title=What's next for cannabis? |date=15 November 2025 |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/mehr-wirtschaft/cannabis-versand-auf-rezept-soll-durch-neues-gesetz-verboten-werden-accg-110781139.html}}</ref> The final vote on the amendment in the Bundestag is expected in early 2026.<ref>[https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/aus-fur-medizinisches-cannabis-frei-haus-union-und-spd-wollen-zugang-zu-cannabis-rezepten-erschweren-15057982.html " Aus für medizinisches Cannabis frei Haus?: Union und SPD wollen Zugang zu Cannabis-Rezepten erschweren"] Tagesspiegel, 17 December 2025, retrieved 17 December 2025</ref>
