Germany's emerging cannabis hub

Germany has become Europe's largest regulated cannabis market after two years of easing restrictions, with medical cannabis imports experiencing a significant surge—growing sixfold from the start of 2024 to the beginning of 2025. The market's value is approaching one billion dollars. Despite this expansion, conservatives warn of potential health and social consequences and are calling for tighter regulations. Data shows that criminal activity related to cannabis has decreased by two-thirds, but consumption of other drugs has risen sharply, along with an increase in hospital admissions linked to the higher potency of available cannabis strains. The situation raises controversy over producers exploiting regulatory loopholes and an ongoing black market, while there are calls to strengthen addiction prevention measures, especially among children and teenagers.
