Latest development

German cabinet backs ending GKV reimbursement for cannabis flowers

Key takeaways

  • Germany's partial cannabis legalisation is now being judged on whether it reduces illicit trade and prosecutions without worsening youth and public-health risks.
  • The dispute has shifted from repeal-versus-legalise to how the CanG should be tightened, evaluated and supplied through legal channels.
  • Medical-cannabis reimbursement, telemedicine and shipping rules are turning the wider reform debate into a health-financing and access fight.
