Honoring Peter Homberg And Looking Toward The Future
Paying tribute to a German legend and carrying on his legacy
Judith Heimbürger of gunnercooke will pay tribute to Peter Homberg. Mr. Homberg blessed the international cannabis community with exceptional professionalism, a deep understanding of both market dynamics and the people who shape them, as well as his rare ability to strike precisely the right tone, offering not only legal clarity but practical, solution‑oriented guidance. Judith Heimbürger will then turn to the topic that mattered deeply to Peter Homberg before his sudden passing: the draft amendment to the MedCanG. This presentation will provide an overview of the latest developments and explore the anticipated implications for market participants in Germany.
Germany has been the spearhead of the legalization of medicinal and recreational cannabis in Europe…
It has a well-developed and still growing medicinal cannabis market and has implemented a partial legalization of recreational cannabis which is in comparison to other European countries one of the most advanced. On February 23, 2025, Germany will elect a new government. The new coalition will earlier or later address the status and the further developments for the legalization of cannabis in the medicinal market and the recreational field. The presentation will focus on statements and initial activities of the new government regarding the legalization process for cannabis in Germany and on the impact on other European countries.
