Germany’s New Medical Marijuana Laws | MERRY JANE News
Subscribe to the MERRY JANE Newsletter for the latest video release and everything cannabis:
Germany recently made moves to assist people living with severe illnesses by allowing doctors to prescribe medical marijuana legally.
Without roadblocks in their path, patients who suffer from severe ailments such as multiple sclerosis and depression can get their pain or discomfort treated quickly without the fear of repercussions. They may even get financial help to obtain marijuana when it comes to the most severe conditions. “Critically ill people must be cared for in the best possible way,” Federal Health Minister Hermann Gröhe said. “Costs of using cannabis for medicinal purposes will be met by the health insurance companies of the critically ill, if no other form of treatment is effective.” These changes apply to medical marijuana—recreational use of the drug will still be illegal, and restrictions will be high on doctors to ensure patients don’t use medical marijuana for recreational purposes. Though, if this program goes well, it may open the door for a conversation about recreational legalization in the future.
While the marijuana plants will be imported for now, the country is moving forward with a controlled program to grow medical marijuana and to keep track of its quality. Europe is becoming more marijuana friendly, as Germany follows almost a dozen other countries which have adopted relaxed medical marijuana laws. Check out the video above to learn more.

hi from germany ..
You are correct that in general the patient isn’t automatically allowed to grow his own but there are cases where pacients recieved a license to grow! So yes, you can legally grow your own but only under the right curcumstances and everything has to be painfully monitored.
I hope they legalize it fast in germany.
hahaha prevent illegal Mary in germany with that fucked up law hahaha best joke ever… to 95% of the consumers here in Germany there will be absolute no change. because the doctors won’t go like yeah sure I’ll do it cause its still a huge bunch of paper for them to fill… so no change until they politician pull out the wood of their arses… sorry to say…
