Germany's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/germany-cannabis">cannabis landscape</a> continues evolving at a rapid pace. From extensive pharmacy access to a surge in cultivation associations, the country's dual-track model—medical and non-commercial adult use—has turned it into one of the most closely watched cannabis markets in the world.
Still, many in the industry argue that restrictive EU regulations are preventing Germany from reaching its full potential.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1 In 7 Pharmacies Now Dispenses Medical Cannabis</h3>
As reported by <a href="https://internationalcbc.com/more-than-1-out-of-every-7-german-pharmacies-offers-medical-cannabis/?utm_source=ICBC+Combined+List+Newsletter+and+Outreach&amp;utm_campaign=7599cd320e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_05_05_06_44&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_-7599cd320e-23726375">ICBC</a>, roughly 2,500 of Germany's 17,000 pharmacies now offer medical cannabis products—a dramatic expansion since legal access began in 2017. Patients can also order cannabis online with a private prescription and have it delivered directly to their homes.
According to the German Cannabis Business Association (BvCW), the country's legal medical cannabis revenue is now estimated at around half a billion euros annually.
Yet that number only scratches the surface of the market's potential. At ICBC Berlin, economist Beau Whitney presented data showing flower and extract sales dominate the German market due to a ban on edibles and other product formats. For comparison, U.S. 4/20 sales were only 41% flower, with the rest divided between vapes, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/05/45263739/they-turned-fruit-bouquets-into-a-500m-a-year-businessnow-theyre-selling-thc-heres-why">edibles</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/04/44929611/why-pre-rolls-are-cannabis-most-profitable-format-from-california-to-canada">pre-rolls</a> and topicals.
The takeaway? Consumers who prefer smokeless options have limited legal choices in Germany, leaving the door open for the unregulated market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Germany's Cultivation Associations Are Growing Fast</h3>
Meanwhile, the number of licensed cannabis cultivation associations continues to rise. As of early May, Germany had approved 211 of the 624 applications submitted nationwide since the member-based model went live in July 2024.
The associations—legal under EU health policy frameworks—allow registered members to collectively grow cannabis for personal use. Though not commercial in nature, they offer a legal alternative for adults seeking safe, regulated cannabis outside the pharmacy system.
For perspective, Malta—another EU member state with a similar model—has issued 19 permits for its 570,000 residents. Applying Malta's ratio to Germany's population of 84 million implies that over 2,800 associations could eventually be formed.
Still, much remains in flux. Only 25 German applications have been formally rejected so far and many approved groups are still navigating the setup phase.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h3>
Germany is already Europe's largest cannabis market, and interest from international operators and policymakers shows no sign of slowing. But experts say broader legalization—including more product categories and commercial access—is essential to meet patient demand and curb illicit activity.
As the BvCW notes, &#8220;the industry's revenue is now estimated at around half a billion euros"—but with edibles, national retail and broader exports still off-limits, the true ceiling remains far higher.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks To Watch</h3>
Germany's expanding cannabis market has attracted significant investment from major publicly traded companies. Here are some key players:
<ul>
<li>Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>): Tilray operates a GMP-certified cultivation facility in Neumünster and has recently expanded its medical cannabis offerings in Germany, including new extract formulations and high-THC flower strains under the Tilray Craft brand.</li>
<li>Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>): Aurora launched its first domestically grown medical cannabis brand, IndiMed, cultivated at its EU-GMP facility in Leuna. This move positions Aurora as one of the few companies with local production capabilities in Germany.</li>
<li>Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGC#NASDAQ">CGC</a>): Canopy Growth has introduced its Tweed brand to the German medical cannabis market, expanding its product lineup with new strains through strategic partnerships with EU-based cultivators.</li>
<li>Curaleaf Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>): Curaleaf has taken a majority stake in Germany&#8217;s Four 20 Pharma, enhancing its footprint in the European market and aiming to leverage Four 20 Pharma&#8217;s distribution network.</li>
<li>High Tide (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HITI#NASDAQ">HITI</a>): High Tide initially planned to enter the German medical cannabis market through the acquisition of Purecan GmbH. However, the company is currently reevaluating this strategy and exploring alternative arrangements to establish a presence in Germany.</li>

Ark Invest CEO and Founder Cathie Wood is no stranger to loving companies that are founded and/or run by Elon Musk, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42486618/heres-how-much-1000-invested-in-tesla-stock-today-will-be-worth-if-cathie-woods-price-prediction-comes-true-in-2029">her early bets </a>on Tesla, SpaceX and others.
The Ark Venture Fund, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/11/29524537/cathie-wood-invested-in-musks-twitter-takeover-how-you-can-get-a-stake-for-500">offers access </a>to private companies, added to its stake in a Musk company during the first quarter. This is in addition to SpaceX already being the fund&#8217;s top holding.
What Happened: During the first quarter, the Ark Venture Fund reinvested in X Corp, the company previously known as Twitter. That new stake converted into a position in xAI, Musk's artificial intelligence company, thanks to a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44549314/elon-musk-acquires-his-own-social-media-platform-x-through-xai-in-33-billion-deal-says-combined-entity-now-worth-80-billion"> merger of the two companies.</a>
The merger valued xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion to create the combined xAI Holdings Corp company.
Ark's quarter summary <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/articles/venture-fund/ark-venture-q1-2025-update">letter </a>said the combined company will integrate the "cutting-edge foundational models" of xAI with X's user base of more than 600 million people. The letter said the merger could "unlock a platform that blends real-time communication with AI-enhanced discovery, truth-seeking, and personalized knowledge delivery."
"We believe this merger will be a significant catalyst for consumer AI adoption and foundational model monetization," the letter said.
Here are the fund's top 10 <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkvx?utm_source=adwords&amp;utm_medium=ppc&amp;hsa_acc=2895577906&amp;hsa_cam=22423858049&amp;hsa_src=x&amp;hsa_net=adwords&amp;hsa_ver=3&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=22420004586&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADoxXfLelVrScBMGodSi-ZYIxu_IE&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwrPHABhCIARIsAFW2XBMOnMDrFcbeL01AQJvT4M3Ii56kvRlmTf8Mr1iE4ejZk1soqgaYnMYaAnqGEALw_wcB">holdings </a>as of April 30, with the percent of the fund's assets:
<ol>
<li>SpaceX: 14.6%</li>
<li>OpenAI: 7.5%</li>
<li>X.AI: 6.3%</li>
<li>Hammerspace: 3.6%</li>
<li>Anthropic: 3.5%</li>
<li>Lambda Labs: 3.5%</li>
<li>Blockdaemon: 3.3%</li>
<li>Epic Games: 2.6%</li>
<li>Shield AI: 2.5%</li>
<li>Radiant Industries: 2.4%</li>
</ol>
SpaceX and xAI, two Musk-related companies are two of the top three holdings, while OpenAI, which Musk was also involved with previously, ranks second.
Together, the stakes in SpaceX and xAI represent 20.9% of the fund's assets.

Other Investments: The Ark Venture Fund made several investments in sectors it believes in for the long-term as part of its strategy to find innovative companies.
"Amid the volatility and uncertainty dominating the opening months of the year, our conviction in the opportunity to invest in disruptive innovation remains strong," Ark said.
In the Robotics sector, Ark Venture Fund invested in Apptronik and Kodiak Robotics. The company said Apptronik is addressing global labor shortages and working toward a future where robots and humans can work together. Kodiak Robotics is an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44809515/george-soros-cathie-wood-backed-autonomous-trucking-firm-kodiak-robotics-set-to-go-public-via-spac-merger-to-tap-4-trillion-market">autonomous trucking company </a>founded by Don Burnette, who was a co-founder of Uber's self-driving truck division.
"As autonomous logistics scales, Kodiak is well positioned to lead in operational efficiency and safety."
The Ark Venture Fund also made its first investment in the nuclear energy space with an investment in Radiant Nuclear. The letter says Radiant Nuclear was founded by former SpaceX engineers.
Semiconductor company Groq and cloud infrastructure company Lambda Labs were new investments by the fund for the next-generation internet sector.
"With strong momentum in both government and enterprise sectors, Groq is emerging as a core player in real-time AI computer infrastructure."
Other investments by Ark in the quarter also include fintech Revolut and Generate:Biomedicines and Lila Sciences in the AI sciences space.
"We are energized by what's ahead in 2025 and encouraged by the growth and engagement of our investor community."
