Business of Cannabis has the latest updates from Berlin
In the late evening of 16th May 2024, the Bundestag held its first reading of the first draft law to amend the Consumer Cannabis Act and the Medical Cannabis Act in the Bundestag as well as amendments to the Road Traffic Act.
The Bundestag draft amendments by the Traffic Light Coalition cover cannabis-related traffic regulations, flexibility for the states regarding controls and large cultivation areas of cannabis associations, restrictions on commercial providers, and the implementation of further training programmes for addiction prevention specialists at cannabis associations.
These draft amendments are one of many to come following the government’s ‘protocol statement’ to the federal states that subsequent changes and amendments to the law would be made. This declaration of intent was submitted to stop a mediation committee and facilitate a successful passing of the CanG law during the Bundesrat sitting on March 22, 2024.
