Germany is preparing to regulate and thereby legalize the recreational sale and consumption of Cannabis amongst adults. However, the framework that will be employed and the surrounding data presents a complex set of challenges and decisions. The Sanity Group’s legalization factsheets provide a compact overview clearly summarizing existing scientific studies on cannabis regulation. More than 20 factsheets cover the political and legal landscape; the possible production and sales outlet models; the most effective methods to ensure youth protection; and the regulation around advertisement, tax, and more.
