Schleswig-Holstein: Medical Association calls for the partial legalization of cannabis to be withdrawn
2025-03-03 | The Schleswig-Holstein Medical Association criticizes what it considers to be lax handling of online prescriptions for medical cannabis and calls for a tightening of prescribing practices, reports Tagesschau. It is particularly problematic that online providers work with foreign doctors, which often means that a personal anamnesis is not necessary. A self-experiment by NDR showed that cannabis could be ordered without a prior consultation with a doctor. The number of prescriptions had risen sharply and imports had quadrupled within a year. Medical Association President Henrik Herrmann is calling for a ban on advertising and mandatory doctor-patient contact before prescribing.
