Driving Under the Influence of Cannabis in Germany

A collaboration between medical, legal, and transportation experts is underway to establish the legal threshold for THC levels in the bloodstream while driving in Germany.

Expected findings from this task force are set to be announced in spring 2024. If caught consuming cannabis while driving in Germany, penalties will be imposed if THC levels surpass the set limit.

Protecting Minors From Cannabis Use

Selling and sharing marijuana with minors is punishable by law in Germany. If minors are found in possession of marijuana, authorities will confiscate it. Any violation of a restraining order will be reported to the legal guardian.

Additionally, if there are serious concerns about the well-being of a child or young person, the responsible local public youth welfare agency must be notified. This agency is then tasked with ensuring that the child or adolescent receives appropriate early intervention support.
