Possession and consumption of cannabis have been legal in Germany under certain conditions since April. Three plants are allowed to be grown at home. Some of the population got seeds.
Since cannabis legalization, seven percent of the adult population in Germany have already purchased cannabis seeds for private cultivation. This is shown by a representative survey by the opinion research institute YouGov.
89 percent have not yet done this. But eleven percent of them still plan to do so. According to the survey, younger respondents between the ages of 18 and 34 are most likely to have already purchased cannabis seeds for private cultivation (14 percent).
As of April 1st, possession and consumption of cannabis became legal for adults in Germany. Anyone 18 or older can store up to 50 grams at home and carry a maximum of 25 grams outside. It’s explicitly about personal use.
Distribution and sale remain prohibited. Three plants can also be grown at home – not in the allotment. Seeds, plants and harvested cannabis must be protected against theft and access by children, for example with lockable cupboards and rooms.
