Amendments to the draft are expected on this basis before the bill proceeds to its second and third readings in parliament, followed by consideration in the Bundesrat. Under the current timeline, the legislation is expected to enter into force at the beginning of the second quarter of 2026, subject to further political adjustments during the legislative process. Much will depend on the extent to which patient care, legal certainty for physicians and pharmacies, and practical feasibility are reflected in the final version of the law.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">KCanG\u00a0Evaluation: Extended Report Expected in Spring<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Alongside medical cannabis, adult-use regulation will remain politically relevant in 2026. An expanded evaluation report on the\u00a0Consumer\u00a0Cannabis Act (KCanG) is expected in April, following the publication of an\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdr.uni-hamburg.de\/record\/17993\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">initial interim report<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0last year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The findings are likely to inform the next phase of political debate. Depending on the outcome, further adjustments in the adult-use framework cannot be ruled out, particularly\u00a0with regard to\u00a0access pathways, approval procedures for cultivation associations, and the continued absence of model and research projects. As a result, 2026 is set to remain a year of close political scrutiny for the adult-use regime.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Market Development: Stabilization and Professionalization<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After several years of rapid growth, Germany\u2019s medical cannabis market is expected to continue stabilizing and professionalizing in 2026. Demand is likely to remain strong, driven by a growing patient population, increasing prescribing confidence among physicians, and the continued integration of medical cannabis into routine healthcare,\u00a0supported by expanding research in established areas of use, including geriatrics.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite ongoing regulatory uncertainty, market fundamentals remain solid. Telemedicine-based care models and mail-order dispensing are under political scrutiny, yet they have played a key role in expanding access and ensuring continuity of care, and they continue to shape\u00a0the reality of\u00a0provision\u00a0for cannabis patients. Pharmacies are further consolidating their role as the central interface between patients, prescribers, and manufacturers, benefiting from greater operational experience in dispensing, counselling, and logistics. Import volumes are expected to level off at a high level, providing a stable basis for supply and planning.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By contrast, the\u00a0consumer\u00a0cannabis framework remains outside market-based economic structures. In the absence of approved model or research projects, no commercial value chains have emerged. Cultivation associations are explicitly non-profit and designed solely to supply their members.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A Year of Decisions<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rather than marking a fresh start, 2026 represents a period of continued development for cannabis regulation in Germany. Following the entry into force of the Cannabis Act in 2024, it has become clear that regulation in this area is not\u00a0static, but\u00a0evolves over time. With the upcoming\u00a0MedCanG\u00a0reform and the expanded\u00a0KCanG\u00a0evaluation, key decisions lie ahead,\u00a0alongside an industry that has increasingly learned to adapt constructively to regulatory change.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;150887&#8243;]<strong>Anything else?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you have specific questions or suggestions for the Cannabis Briefing?
