37 applications submitted in Saxony

The partial legalization of cannabis has been in force nationwide since 1 April 2024. Since then, adults have been allowed to consume limited amounts of cannabis and grow it at home for their own use. Associations have been able to submit applications for cannabis cultivation associations since July 1, 2024.

According to the data, 37 applications have been submitted and 25 approved in Saxony so far. Not all applications have been processed yet, and some have been withdrawn, according to nationwide reports.

One of the requirements for cultivation clubs is that they must prove that they only supply cannabis with a limited THC content to club members of legal age in a controlled manner. THC is the intoxicating part of a hemp plant.
