Germany plans to launch domestic weed growing industry by 2019

You might have heard that Berlin has just legalized medical marijuana, but did you know the German government is planning to start growing its own medical marijuana in 2019? Germany's Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices has already set up an agency to manage the importation of medical marijuana as well as its cultivation within the country. Much of the country's current supply is currently coming from the Netherlands and Canada, but that will change once Germany is able to start providing its own supply. The cannabis agency will also supervise its storage and distribution throughout Germany. By 2019, there will be a domestic cannabis-cultivation venture, and they are currently looking for EU companies to oversee the process.

While it's important to understand that the new cannabis law in Germany, passed in January 2017, curtails the drug's use to those suffering from serious medical issues and diseases � for example, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and chemotherapy-induced nausea, this is still a major step towards global legalization of marijuana. The fact that cannabis is being taken seriously as a medicine, rather than a mere recreational drug, is a positive move forward. On the other hand, medical marijuana will be regulated. Patients are still forbidden to cultivate their own plants at home. The reason for this is quality control � pharmaceutical-grade marijuana is considered to be of the highest quality, whereas the safety and effectiveness of home-grown cannabis cannot be ensured. The German government also emphasizes marijuana will not be available for those without a medical certificate. At the moment, Germany imports approximately 170 kilograms of cannabis from Canada and the Netherlands per year, and a thousand medical patients are eligible to purchase it.

With Canadian medical marijuana being in such great demand these days, it's worth having a look at one of the companies that is providing it. One of the best online marijuana sources in Canada is Kandu Canna Meds, located in Vancouver, British Columbia. This is one of Canada's top marijuana dispensaries, providing high-grade medical marijuana to legitimate medical patients who need it. Their cannabis is refined, top-quality, and organic. It can be bought directly at the store, located on Davie Street in downtown Vancouver, or it can be purchased via mail order and is considered to be some of the best online marijuana. In order to purchase from them, you must be a legitimate patient who has received a diagnosis from a medical doctor. You require a genuine written prescription that has been signed by a practitioner in order to become a member. They have a knowledgeable, compassionate staff who are able to assist patients when choosing the type of cannabis that will work best for their condition. On their website, www.kanducannameds.com , you can find both in-store and online menus of the medical marijuana strains available for purchase. If you live outside of Vancouver, however, you will need to be aware of your locality's stance on medical marijuana. New legislation on medical marijuana is currently being finalized in Canada, and it is expected to be legalized within the next year or so.
