After the legalization of cannabis in Germany, related industries have developed rapidly, mainly in the following aspects:
Cannabis cultivation industry: Legalization makes cannabis cultivation move from underground to above ground, and the number of legal cannabis cultivation enterprises increases, driving employment and promoting agricultural diversification.
Processing and sales of cannabis products: With legalization, the market for processing and sales of cannabis products has expanded rapidly. This includes food, cosmetics, health products and products containing cannabis such as textiles.
Medical cannabis industry: Germany has allowed the use of medical cannabis as early as 2017, and after legalization, this market has further expanded, and the research and development, production and sales of medical cannabis have been developed.
Cannabis research: Legalization has facilitated scientific research, and German universities and research institutions have increased research on cannabis components, medical effects and cultivation techniques.
Tourism: Some cities in Germany, such as Berlin, have seen cannabis culture-themed tourism programs, attracting domestic and foreign tourists and boosting tourism.
Non-commercial cannabis clubs: According to the new Act, non-commercial cannabis clubs are legally open to provide cannabis to members, which has become an emerging social phenomenon and industrial model.
Legal Advisory services: As regulations related to cannabis have become more complex, an industry dedicated to providing cannabis legal advisory services has also grown.
Safety Regulation and testing industry: In order to ensure the quality and legal compliance of cannabis products, the related safety regulation and product quality testing industry has also grown.
It should be noted that although Germany has partially legalized recreational cannabis, the related industry is still subject to strict legal and regulatory restrictions, especially for preventing minors from accessing cannabis and preventing black market trading. In addition, the German government is also paying close attention to the impact of cannabis legalization on social order, public health and other aspects, and adjusting relevant policies and regulations accordingly.
