Now the Federal Cabinet has passed the Act on the Controlled Handling of Cannabis and Amendment of Other Provisions, the so-called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de\/service\/gesetze-und-verordnungen\/detail\/cannabisgesetz.html\"><b>Cannabis Act (CanG)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and thus officially introduced it into the legislative process.<br><br><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The law provides that adults will in future be able to cultivate cannabis <\/span><b>in limited quantities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for personal consumption &#8211; either privately or in registered, non-commercial cannabis cultivation associations. Through these associations, the products can then also be distributed in a controlled manner for personal consumption. Commercial cultivation of cannabis remains prohibited.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>Possession of <\/span><b>up to 25 grams <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of cannabis as a permitted amount will remain exempt from punishment in future.

However, the new law will still establish a <\/span><b>sentencing framework<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will apply when the permitted amount of 25 grams is exceeded. According to the Federal Ministry of Health, the sentencing framework will<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">however <\/span><b>be lower<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than that of the BtMG.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>Other violations, for example the advertising ban, violations of licensing requirements or record-keeping obligations, will constitute an <\/span><b>administrative offense<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

An interdisciplinary working group is investigating under the leadership of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport whether the introduction of a THC limit value under \u00a7 24 para. 2 StVG might be sensible. Results of this investigation are expected in spring 2024. Until then, the existing legal situation applies, according to which participation in road traffic after cannabis consumption is generally prohibited. In addition to a possible fine or possible criminal prosecution, drivers must expect driver&#8217;s license consequences and, for example, a <\/span><b>medical-psychological assessment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (MPU).<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br>Cannabis is expressly mentioned in the annex to the StVG; however, unlike alcohol, there are no clearly defined limit values. Case law assumes that <\/span><b>from 1.0 ng\/ml THC in the blood<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an administrative offense exists. Similar to the blood alcohol limits, the amount of consumption required to reach this value cannot be clearly defined and depends on the circumstances of the individual case.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><br>What currently applies to cannabis consumption?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to what might be assumed, cannabis consumption itself is not punishable.

These include, among others, <\/span><b>possession, acquisition, procurement, import and export<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>trafficking in cannabis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

In the case of a particularly serious offense (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/btmg_1981\/__30a.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a7 30a BtMG<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), particularly in the case of armed or organized trafficking in illegal narcotics, imprisonment of <\/span><b>not less than 5 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is threatened.
