Despite progress toward cannabis regulation in many parts of the world and the rise of trends such as home cultivation, a significant portion of cannabis and its derivatives consumption continues to occur on the black market. In some cases, due to ignorance, in others due to lack of access to the legal market, or simply due to cultural inertia, thousands of people continue to turn to unregulated channels to obtain their buds or resin extractions. But what at first glance may seem like a cheaper or more discreet alternative is actually a model fraught with risks and shortcomings. In this article, we aim to explain, point by point, some of the main problems associated with sourcing cannabis from the black market. From the lack of health guarantees to the social and economic implications, including the direct impact on the user experience. If we aspire to build a responsible, transparent, and safe consumption model, the first step is understanding why the black market path is not a solution but part of the problem.

On April 1, 2024, Germany took a major step in its drug policy by partially legalizing cannabis. The new legislation allowed adults to possess up to 25 grams in public spaces and to grow up to three plants for personal use. In addition, so-called "cannabis clubs" were approved - non-profit associations in which members can grow and distribute cannabis in a controlled manner. However, this measure was not without controversy. While some political and social sectors saw legalization as a step forward regarding public health and individual rights, others argued that it could increase consumption among young people and generate security problems. Against this backdrop, the 2025 federal elections have been a turning point for the future of cannabis in Germany. The election results will determine whether the country continues to move forward in regulating cannabis or whether, on the contrary, the measures adopted in 2024 are reversed.

In August 2023, Germany marked a milestone in European politics by approving the legalization of recreational cannabis. This step is part of a more progressive and controlled approach to minimize the harms of unregulated consumption and reduce criminalization. German citizens over the age of 18 can now possess up to 25 grams of cannabis in a public space (50 g in their private space) and grow a maximum of three plants at home. This change not only positions Germany as a pioneer in cannabis regulation in Europe but also reflects a growing trend towards global decriminalization, with potential benefits for public health, the economy, and the fight against organized crime. With this legalization, the country is adopting an approach similar to that of Canada and certain states in the United States, focusing on risk reduction and creating a regulated market. Today we tell you everything you want to know about cannabis clubs and associations in Germany (CSCs - Cannabis Social Clubs).
