"Defining Hemp Case Heads to Court in Germany": FEBRUARY 15, 2022
The right to sell hemp and CBD still exists in a grey area in Germany. A new lawsuit may change that—at least for imported products.
The case focuses on the right to first import hemp and then sell it in Germany.
“If the court grants the general injunction, at least foreign products from the above-mentioned countries can be freely traded in Germany. However, domestic products would continue to be discriminated against. It would be a small step towards the liberalization of commercial hemp.”
Beyond this, however, it is a significant case in that other countries can also now file similar proceedings.
