The maximum level of THC (the active intoxicant in cannabis) in the blood of drivers must be set at 3.5 nanograms per milliliter.

German authorities have introduced a maximum limit for drivers to use cannabis after the country partially legalized its recreational use two months ago. DW reported it.

According to the recommendation of an expert group commissioned by the Ministry of Transport, the maximum level of THC (the active intoxicating cannabis) in the blood of drivers should be set at 3.5 nanograms per milliliter. This is thought to be equivalent to the risk of drinking 20 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, which is legal in Germany.

It also includes a complete ban on drinking alcohol for drivers who have used cannabis to avoid the dangers of mixing substances, as well as a complete ban on the use of cannabis for novice drivers.

Opposition conservatives from the CDU called for maintaining a complete ban on the use of cannabis for drivers, but their proposal was rejected.

Lawmakers also voted to give the federal states greater powers to regulate official associations of cannabis growers (Anbauvereine), which will be allowed to grow cannabis and supply it to their members from July 1 .

The changes would set regional limits on the size of hemp farms and the legal amount of cannabis that can be possessed.

In Germany, a law partially legalizing cannabis took effect on April 1. Adults were allowed to keep and grow a certain amount for themselves. Adults are allowed to carry 25 grams of cannabis – be it marijuana or hashish in its pure form – or store up to 50 grams at home.

It was also reported that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine included cannabis in the list of plants whose circulation is allowed for use for educational, educational, scientific and scientific-technical purposes. activity, and in the manufacture of products for further use in medical practice.
