$HITI Bad news from Germany. Cannabis flowers (aka weed) and extracts for medicinal use are no longer reimbursed by the German health insurance system. The exception is a new extract from a wealthy pharmaceutical entrepreneur who donated half a million euros to a number of political parties.
On July 10, both chambers of the German parliament, the Bundestag and the Bundesrat, approved a package of laws to cut funding for statutory health insurance, the GKV. Part of this package is the elimination of reimbursement for medicinal cannabis in the form of flowers.
