Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Controlled under the Suchtmittelgesetz (SMG) — possession punishable (§27, no legal minimum); depenalized for first-time small-quantity personal use; medical = synthetic cannabinoids only
Consequences if caught: DISAMBIGUATION: depenalized, NOT legalized. There is NO legal minimum quantity — possession of any amount for personal use is punishable (§27, up to 6 months prison or a fine).

Consumption itself is not criminalized, but the possession that precedes it is. For cannabis the Grenzmenge (threshold quantity) is 40 g THCA, above which the offence becomes dealing. Above the Grenzmenge (threshold quantity) the offence becomes dealing/trafficking under §§28/28a — up to 1–3 years, escalating to 10–15 years for commercial or organized cases.
If prescribed / medical: Medical cannabis is limited to synthetic/pharmaceutical cannabinoids only (dronabinol, Sativex, nabilone) — no flower; there is no recreational legalization.
Documentation: Medical cannabis is limited to synthetic/pharmaceutical cannabinoids only (dronabinol, Sativex, nabilone) — no flower. There is no recreational legalization (the Constitutional Court upheld prohibition in July 2022). Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and original packaging and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
