Résumé :
The German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein suggested distributing cannabis in pharmacies under certain regulated conditions. The purpose of this suggestion was to separate the drug markets and to improve drug prevention. However, the German Federal Institute for drugs and medical products rejected this 'cannabis project'.
Given recent changes in German federal drug policy it is quite possible that the distribution of cannabis will be reconsidered at some point in the future. The 'pharmacy scheme' is the mostly plausible distribution model given the current political, civil, and judicial circumstances in Germany. This article will inform the judicial background, the motivations as well as the individual conditions of the 'cannabis project'. [Introduction]
