These are complemented by clinical studies, even though randomized controlled trials are particularly difficult to conduct for cannabis flowers, for example because blinding is inherently limited in inhaled applications.<\/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\">A systematic overview of\u00a0international\u00a0literature also shows that the evidence base is continuously expanding and spans a wide range of indications (see the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/copeia.de\/cs\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">COPEIA database<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0for healthcare\u00a0professionals). This is not an unusual situation. In many established therapeutic areas, care is based on a combination of studies, real-world care\u00a0data\u00a0and physicians\u2019 clinical experience. Gaps in the evidence therefore do not imply a lack of\u00a0efficacy but\u00a0often reflect structural limitations of research.<\/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\">Real-world care data show clear therapeutic patterns<\/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\">When medicinal cannabis was introduced in 2017,\u00a0the\u00a0BfArM\u00a0(Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices)\u00a0established\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bfarm.de\/SharedDocs\/Downloads\/DE\/Bundesopiumstelle\/Cannabis\/Abschlussbericht_Begleiterhebung.pdf?__blob=publicationFile\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">systematic accompanying survey<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0in order to\u00a0evaluate care in a scientific manner.\u00a0The aim was to assess, on the basis of real prescribing data, how effective and meaningful its use is in practice, while at the same time creating a foundation for further research.<\/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 evaluation included data from around 21,000 treatments, allowing robust conclusions to be drawn about real-world care. One point is crucial, however: the accompanying survey only captures patients whose treatment was reimbursed by statutory health insurance. It therefore primarily reflects severe conditions for which reimbursement is possible. Areas of use involving less severe conditions, where medicinal cannabis is also used but often without reimbursement, are not included in these data.<\/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 evaluation also showed the indications in which medicinal cannabis is\u00a0most commonly used: chronic pain, at 76.4 percent, was by far the most frequent reason for prescription. Around 70 percent of patients reported an improvement in quality of life, and symptom relief was documented in approximately 75 percent of cases. The accompanying survey therefore clearly shows that medicinal cannabis delivers relevant therapeutic effects in clinical practice.<\/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\">These findings have also informed the further development of the regulatory framework, for example through\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-ba.de\/presse\/pressemitteilungen-meldungen\/1210\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">removing\u00a0prior-approval requirements<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0for certain specialist groups by the G-BA (Federal Joint Committee).<\/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\">Dosage form is part of the treatment decision<\/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\">Questions about evidence are often directed specifically at cannabis flowers. Yet it was precisely cannabis flowers that were made reimbursable through the 2017 reform. Inhaled and oral applications differ\u00a0substantially in\u00a0their pharmacokinetics, particularly\u00a0with regard to\u00a0onset of action, peak\u00a0effect\u00a0and duration of action. For many patients, inhaled use is therefore medically\u00a0appropriate\u00a0and indispensable. The assumption that inhaled therapies could\u00a0generally be\u00a0replaced by oral preparations falls short and does not reflect clinical reality.<\/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\">Prof. Dr. Kirsten R. M\u00fcller-Vahl also points this out, emphasizing that \u201c<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the accompanying survey commissioned by the federal government clearly shows that cannabis flowers are overall more effective and improve quality of life more markedly than alternative finished medicinal products \u2013 with fewer adverse effects. The evidence base for oral cannabis extracts (with the exception of\u00a0the finished medicinal product Sativex\u00ae) is comparable to that for cannabis flowers<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201d (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medical-tribune.de\/meinung\/cannabisblueten-verordnungsfaehig-lassen\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Medical Tribune<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, 23 March 2026).<\/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\">Research takes time and requires reliable framework conditions<\/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\">Medicinal cannabis has only been a regular part of reimbursable care in Germany for a few years. For a therapeutic field of this scale, the evidence base is therefore still developing dynamically.\u00a0In addition, the regulatory environment continues to evolve.

The pace at which evidence is generated is therefore not only a scientific issue, but also a structural one.<\/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\">An evidence-based therapy still developing<\/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\">The evidence on medicinal cannabis is now broad and consistent enough to define clear areas of use and to support responsible prescribing. It includes clinical studies, extensive real-world care\u00a0data\u00a0and international experience.\u00a0Further research will continue to refine this picture.\u00a0One thing is clear: medicinal cannabis is not a therapy in an experimental stage, but an established part of medical care.\u00a0Against this backdrop, the regulatory framework should also be shaped consistently on the basis of evidence and should reflect actual clinical practice.<\/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>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything else?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you have specific questions or suggestions for the Cannabis Briefing?
