Germany could have its very own cannabis-growing program by 2019. The nation’s legislation has okayed a legislation that will enable patients to obtain cannabis as a prescribed medicine. The German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices has announced the establishment of a “cannabis agency”; and the project will develop under the aegis of this agency. Companies from all over the EU will be invited to bid for running the project.
The first batch of cannabis will be ready by 2019. Till then prescription medicines will have to make do with marijuana imported from other countries, chiefly Holland and Canada. Marijuana; however, will not be legally available for recreational purposes. For getting high on pot, all Herrs and Fraus will have to hike it to the other side of the border…to the Netherlands. Earlier, patients had to obtain a special permit to use cannabis medication. A 1000 Germans have this special authorization.
