Germany: Lawmakers to consider changes to legalization law related to social clubs

German lawmakers are set to consider amendments to a cannabis legalization law that took effect last month, with committees of the nation's parliament scheduled to begin debate on changes related to cannabis cultivation at social clubs and impaired driving this week.

One of the proposals set to be taken up by the Bundestag on Friday would give individual German states greater authority to set restrictions on cultivation at cooperatives that will be able to start dispensing cannabis to members in July. It is slated to be referred to the Health Committee.

Currently, adults can possess and grow cannabis for themselves, but there's no sales model in place yet.

A separate measure scheduled for initial debate on Friday would set a per se THC limit for impaired driving. The legislation—which is expected to prove more controversial given a lack of scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of such policies—would make it so drivers would be considered impaired if they have more than 3.5 ng/ml of THC in their blood. It is expected to be referred to the Transportation Committee.
