I can talk about Germany. It's really hard here to get cannabis for medical use. Only a few a lucky enough to get a prescription.
Germany's Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) confirmed on Sunday that the patient from Mannheim, southwestern Germany, will be allowed to grow a maximum of 130 cannabis plants a year in his bathroom. The cannabis is strictly for personal use, a spokesperson said.BfArM had previously rejected requests to home-grow cannabis. There are currently more than 900 patients in Germany who are permitted to use the drug for medicinal purposes. However, the cannabis must be purchased from the pharmacy and financial costs covered by the patient. One gram currently costs around 15 euros ($16.85).
Prior to receiving his permit, the Mannheimer had filed multiple lawsuits, arguing that he could not afford the monthly costs of around 1,500 euros. In spring, Germany's Federal Administrative Court ruled that BfArM must "allow the claimant to grow cannabis, harvest the drug, and use it for the medical purpose of his treatment."
Well that's some good news here.
Seems like that the perception of cannabis is evolving.
but it's not so simple, don't forget the dark side of this medal - it's not good when there are cases of abuse of such an opportunity
I live in The Netherlands, so i'm glad they are thinking about also starting up working spaces here. A very active Cannabis industry with a lot of opportunities. From here they can work on other European countries
And since Germany is the Netherlands neighbour....
