Germany medical cannabis imports surge a further 19%, but are looming curbs actually boosting demand?
Germany’s medical cannabis imports continued their historic run in Q3 of 2025, seeing the country bring in just under 57 tonnes, though growth levels dipped slightly from Q2. Cannabis importers appear entirely undeterred by looming market challenges, both structural and political, as imports grew a further 19.3% compared to the previous quarter, seeing the total for the year to date top 140,000kg, nearly double the entire imports of 2024.
