Episode Details

What’s actually happening with medical cannabis reform in Europe right now — and why should operators and investors be paying attention?In this week’s TDR Cannabis in Five – Weekly International Update, presented by Prohibition Partners, host Shadd Dales breaks down two of the most important medical cannabis developments unfolding in Germany and France. These are not fringe markets. They’re two of the most closely watched healthcare systems in Europe, and decisions being made right now could shape how medical cannabis is regulated across the continent.In Germany, lawmakers held a critical Health Committee hearing on proposed changes to the country’s medical cannabis law. While patient demand continues to rise sharply, the government is debating tighter access rules — including restrictions on telemedicine — that industry experts warn could create enforcement issues, limit patient access, and push some demand back into the illicit market. With coalition resistance already forming, the outcome remains uncertain, but the stakes are high for pharmacies, patients, and international suppliers.In France, progress is quieter but just as important. The government has extended its medical cannabis pilot program, protecting access for existing patients — but political delays continue to stall the launch of a full national medical framework. Despite years of preparation and regulatory approval at the EU level, final execution remains on hold.#CannabisEurope #MedicalCannabis #GermanyCannabis #FranceCannabis #CannabisPolicy #TDRCannabis #InternationalCannabis #CannabisRegulation #ProhibitionPartners #CannabisMarketsWant to see more Cannabis Reform videos?   • Proposed Hemp Extension Faces Ongoing Unce...     • The $4 Billion Problem Facing U.S. Cannabi...     • Inside the Final Steps of Cannabis Resched...     • Supreme Court Takes Cannabis Gun Case | TD...  Want to be updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
