For personal non-medical possession, adults 18+ may hold up to 25 g of dried cannabis away from home and up to 50 g at their residence or habitual abode, with 50 g the combined ceiling. Up to three living cannabis plants may be held there; private cultivation is a separate allowance. These are possession limits, not monthly association allocations. Conditions: Minimum age 18+.

Reviewed: 2026-08-30. - **Minimum age:** 18+ (purchase, tourist access, possession, public consumption) - **Important restrictions:** The association route is not open to visiting tourists; qualifying residence is required. Association supply is capped at 25 g per day and 50 g per calendar month for members 21+; members aged 18-20 have a 30 g monthly cap and a 10% THC cap. These dispensing limits do not replace the separate possession limits. Association dispensing limits are separate from possession limits. Home-grown cannabis must not be supplied to other people. The non-profit association model is residents-only; visitors have no legal supply channel. Never carry cannabis across a national border. ## Venues in Germany 420.camp lists 449 cannabis venues in Germany: 376 private clubs, 58 CBD & hemp shops, 15 pharmacies. 298 show opening hours, 241 list a phone number, 271 have photos, 0 are confirmed by their owner or a licence check. 434 admit members only.
