The Bundestag has decided on partial legalization of cannabis for recreational use. Possession and home cultivation of limited quantities should be permitted for adults from April 1st.
However, the previous plan to sell cannabis to adults in specialist shops has been postponed. The gold rush mood has long since given way to disillusionment in the competitive market. Some cannabis companies got into trouble, others disappeared or were bought out. The cannabis industry industry association still sees an upturn for the companies. In any case, the story surrounding the full legalization of many start-ups has collapsed.
