Germany is on Track to Legalize Recreational Cannabis this Year

Cannabis legalization is making moves across more than just the United States.

As we’ve seen this month, Thailand has decriminalized the plant, and Switzerland has begun a pilot program for recreational cannabis.

Now, the German Health Ministry says their government will begin holding hearings to move toward recreational cannabis legalization.

They will bring in hundreds of field experts, government officials, and many more relevant representatives.

The German government’s Drug Czar, Burkhard Bleinert, said they will hold five hearings this month. Their plans are to address what measures are needed to ensure the best protection for young people and of health and consumers, and ensure quality control.

​The German government hopes to have legislation for recreational cannabis ready later this year.
