Village Farms International, Inc. applauded the passing of legislation partially legalizing cannabis for personal use in Germany, beginning April 1, 2024. The new legislation will provide patients with greater access to high quality, legal products, which will be beneficial to further growth of the German medicinal cannabis market. Under the new legislation, cannabis has been removed from the German Narcotics Act, allowing adults to possess up to 25 grams (just under one ounce) of cannabis in public and up to 50 grams (just under two ounces) at home.

It also permits adults to cultivate up to three cannabis plants at home and allows for the operation of ?cannabis social clubs? (up to 500 members), from which adults can obtain up to 50 grams per month.
