Buying Cannabis in Germany:

Germany has undergone a significant transformation in cannabis policy, making it one of Europe’s most progressive countries for cannabis access. Whether you are a resident seeking medical treatment or simply curious about the new laws, this guide covers everything you need to know about buying marijuana in Germany.

The Legal Landscape: What You Need to Know

Since April 1, 2024, Germany has implemented a landmark partial legalization of cannabis . The legislation allows adults aged 18 and over to:

• Possess up to 25 grams of dried cannabis for personal use in public 

• Grow up to three cannabis plants at home 

• Store up to 50 grams of cannabis at home 

From July 1, 2024, residents also gained access to non-profit “cannabis clubs” with up to 500 members, where cannabis can be obtained .

Important Distinction: Residents vs. Tourists

A crucial point often misunderstood: these new laws apply only to legal residents of Germany . Tourists and newcomers cannot legally purchase or possess cannabis in Germany .

To be considered a legal resident, you must:

• Live in Germany

• Officially register with local authorities (“Anmeldung”) within two weeks of moving

• Have resided in Germany for at least six months 

Tourists cannot legally buy marijuana in Germany. Attempting to purchase from dealers remains illegal and can result in fines or imprisonment but you can buy from our onlline store and expect descreet delivery.

Medical Cannabis: The Accessible Option

For those who need cannabis for medical purposes, the process is more straightforward. Since April 1, 2024, medical cannabis prescriptions no longer fall under the Narcotics Act (BtMG), making them easier to obtain .

Two Ways to Get a Medical Cannabis Prescription

1. Through Your Local Doctor

All licensed physicians in Germany (except dentists and vets) can prescribe medical cannabis . However, specialists such as neurologists, psychiatrists, and pain therapists generally have more experience with cannabis therapy .

The process:

1. Anamnesis and consultation — Your doctor reviews your medical history

2. Health insurance application (optional) — For statutory insurance patients

3. Prescription issuance — Since April 2024, usually as an e-prescription 

4. Start therapy — Dispensed at any pharmacy (in-person or online)

5. Follow-up and adjustment — Regular check-ups to optimise dosage 

2. Through Telemedicine Platforms

Digital platforms have become increasingly popular for obtaining cannabis prescriptions quickly and conveniently . These services offer:

• Online medical questionnaires (completed in around 3 minutes) 

• No appointment or waiting time 

• No upfront payment — you pay only when you receive the prescription and product 

• Quick processing — often the same day 

Note: Telemedicine first prescriptions may become more restricted. The German government has proposed legislation requiring a personal doctor-patient contact for initial prescriptions .

Qualifying Conditions

Medical cannabis can be prescribed for severe conditions where other treatments are not available or effective . The most common conditions treated with cannabis include :

• Chronic pain (over 75% of all prescriptions) 

• Tumor diseases

• Spasticity

• Multiple sclerosis

• Nausea and vomiting (particularly chemotherapy-induced)

• Anorexia/Wasting syndrome

Important: You cannot simply choose which cannabis medication you want. Your doctor prescribes what is appropriate for your condition .

Cost Considerations

For private patients: You pay the full cost yourself. Medical cannabis flower starts from around €4.99 per gram, with prices varying across pharmacies .

For statutory insurance patients: You can apply for cost coverage through your health insurance. The process typically involves:

1. Your doctor submits an application

2. The insurance company reviews the case (often involving the Medical Service)

3. Approval takes approximately 2–6 weeks 

How Ordering and Delivery Works

The Online Ordering Process

For patients with a prescription, ordering cannabis is simple:

1. Complete a medical questionnaire (for telemedicine patients) 

2. Doctor reviews and issues prescription (often same day) 

3. Select your preferred strains from available options 

4. Order through a partner pharmacy 

5. Receive your delivery in discreet, odour-proof packaging
