In Germany, marijuana has been partially legalized.
In German schools, teenagers will begin to be educated about cannabis. Classes in which students will learn about cannabis will be introduced in several schools in the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. They will be aimed at students in the 9th and 10th grades. During the lessons, teenagers will familiarize themselves with facts about cannabis, solve various puzzles and tasks, and participate in group discussions, reports Deutsche Welle.
In Germany, marijuana has been partially legalized since April 1, 2024. Adults are allowed to possess and grow up to three cannabis plants for personal use.
According to a survey by the Federal Institute for Public Health, after the partial legalization of marijuana, teenagers have started to smoke it less. The percentage of individuals aged 12 to 17 who used this psychoactive substance in the past year was 6.1% in 2025, while in 2023 this figure was 6.7%. However, among young people aged 18 to 25, the popularity of cannabis increased by 2.3% during the same period.
