Applications for Cultivation Associations Under the Cannabis Act
Berlin, 2025-01-24 – The Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) is now accepting applications for cultivation associations according to the Cannabis Act. The deadline for submitting applications is March 31, 2025.
The Cannabis Act, which came into force on January 1, 2025, legalizes the recreational use of cannabis in Germany. The law also provides for the establishment of cultivation associations that will be responsible for producing and distributing cannabis to licensed retailers.
To be eligible to apply for a cultivation association license, applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Have a business plan that outlines the association’s operations, including cultivation, production, and distribution of cannabis
- Have a secure facility that meets the requirements of the Cannabis Ordinance
- Have a qualified staff with the necessary expertise in cannabis cultivation and production
- Have a quality management system in place to ensure the safety and quality of the cannabis produced
The BfArM will review all applications and select the most qualified applicants to receive licenses. Cultivation associations will be required to pay an annual license fee and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
The Cannabis Act is expected to create a new market for legal cannabis in Germany. The cultivation associations will play a key role in meeting the demand for cannabis and ensuring that the products are safe and of high quality.
