Frankfurt to Launch Cannabis Sales Pilot in Specialty Stores

The five-year study aims to assess the impact of regulated cannabis sales on consumer safety and the black market.

Frankfurt plans to start a model project in 2025, allowing legal cannabis sales in specialized stores to curb illegal trade.
Participants must be adult residents of Frankfurt, healthy, and willing to undergo regular assessments throughout the study.
The project will involve up to four stores, with pricing based on THC content and illegal market rates, aiming to offer safer products.
The Sanity Group, experienced in similar projects in Switzerland, will manage the implementation, with academic oversight from Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences.
Similar initiatives are being explored in other German cities like Hannover and Wiesbaden, with the latter testing sales through pharmacies.
