Overview

• Berlin’s transport authority said the city supports the federal autumn evaluation aimed at stricter rules with significantly lower THC thresholds.
• Brandenburg has filed a Bundesrat initiative to reassess the current THC limit and examine the effects of cannabis and alcohol consumed together.
• Germany’s legal limit remains 3.5 ng/ml THC in blood, with a €500 fine and a one‑month driving ban for violations.
• Higher penalties apply when alcohol is also detected, repeat offenses can trigger longer license suspensions, and novice drivers face zero tolerance.
• The federal government plans an open‑ended review this autumn, while Berlin police recently reported 44 drug‑driving cases from 751 vehicle checks over three days.
