Storm in a teacup? Germany’s proposal to tighten up telemedicine cannabis rules

Written by || 1st September 2025 || News analysis | Cannabis – medical | Cannabis – recreational | Policy and Politics | Regulation and legislation | GeographiesEurope Germany Poland

The proposal foresees stricter controls on prescribing medical cannabis through a ban on the dispensing of cannabis for medical purposes via mail-order services offered by pharmacies, and mandatory in-person appointments with a physician for initial prescriptions. It primarily targets providers of telemedicine services, which have become a key access point for medical cannabis in Germany in recent years.
