Greens Inquire About Implementation of Cannabis Law Evaluation
Berlin, Germany – July 21, 2025 – The German Bundestag’s Green Party faction has formally submitted an inquiry regarding the progress and planned implementation of the evaluation process for the recently enacted cannabis law. The inquiry, published by the Bundestag’s press service (hib) earlier today, seeks to understand the concrete steps the German government is taking to assess the impact and effectiveness of the legislation.
The coalition agreement, which brought the Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats into government, included provisions for the comprehensive evaluation of the cannabis law. This evaluation is intended to examine various aspects of the law’s implementation, including its effects on public health, the justice system, and the illicit market, as well as its social and economic consequences.
The Greens’ inquiry signals a keen interest in ensuring that the promised evaluation is robust, timely, and transparent. It is understood that the party is particularly focused on understanding how data will be collected, by whom, and what key performance indicators will be utilized to measure the law’s success or identify areas requiring adjustment. This proactive approach underscores the Green Party’s commitment to evidence-based policymaking and their desire to see the cannabis law contribute positively to German society.
While the specific details of the inquiry have not been fully disclosed in the initial announcement, it is anticipated that the questions will cover the timeline for the evaluation, the involvement of relevant scientific and governmental bodies, and the mechanisms for public consultation or input during the assessment phase. The party likely also seeks clarity on how the findings of the evaluation will inform any potential future amendments or refinements to the cannabis legislation.
The establishment of a regulated cannabis market has been a significant policy initiative, and its long-term implications are of considerable interest to lawmakers and the public alike. The Green Party’s inquiry is a crucial step in ensuring accountability and fostering a data-driven approach to governing, allowing for informed decisions to be made as the nation navigates this new legal landscape. Further details on the government’s response to this inquiry are expected to be released in due course.
