Germany's medical cannabis market nearly tripled in imported volume last year, but the average price per gram dropped significantly.
Rapid market growth price compression = market consolidation?

Following a Bundestag expert hearing, the CDU/CSU is signaling a potential retreat from its proposed hardline restrictions on the Medical Cannabis Act, now considering targeted "fine-tuning" of regulations instead of the broad bans originally intended.

🇳🇱 How evenly are coffeeshops distributed in the Netherlands? End-2024 map shows residents per shop by municipality. Grey areas have none. Strong concentration in the Randstad, led by Amsterdam–Rotterdam–The Hague.

🇩🇪 Germany has just notified the EU of a draft law to tighten its Medical Cannabis Act (MedCanG) — TRIS No. 2025/0552/DE.
Still just a Health Ministry proposal, but Cabinet approval could come this week. Then the usual parliamentary process.

Just seen at PTMC in Lisbon. Portugal has exported 33t of medical cannabis YTD (Aug 2025), already surpassing 2024, despite recent delays. Nearly all goes to Germany. Infarmed won’t say how much is grown locally vs re-exported, but industry contacts suggest most is imported.

According to a recently published reply to a parliamentary inquiry, the German federal government expects the first decisions on cannabis research projects under the § 2(4) KCanG “Forschungsklausel” (for cannabis dispensing) in Q3 2025.
We're already in September.

🚫 EMA’s HMPC won’t establish an EU herbal monograph for Cannabis sativa L., flos.
Why? No authorized single-ingredient products, insufficient data, and scope limitations.
Consultation open until Oct 31.

UK private medical cannabis prescriptions are surging. Over 250k items were prescribed in England in H1 2024, a 137% jump vs H1 2023, and 46% vs H2 2023. Data lags, but growth is clear.
