The value of the global illegal cannabis market is estimated by Fortune Business to be worth at least the equivalent of DKK 130 billion. The German government estimates that the state can earn 4.7 billion euros (approximately DKK 35 billion) annually on a legalization, and the combination of economic gain and the fight against crime is, according to the proponents of legalization, the most important parameter.

Olaf Scholz, Germany's new chancellor, is leading a coalition of parties, who have agreed to legalize both the sale and use of cannabis. "We will allow controlled sales of cannabis for adults for recreational purposes in approved shops," according to a statement from Germany's new government, which consists of the Social Democrats (SPD), the Liberals (FDP) and the Greens.

CEO of DanCann Pharma, Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, comments:

I truly believe that Germany can play a crucial role in starting a domino-effect for the rest of Europe in this regard (legalization of cannabis for use of cannabis in general), and what we might first have thought would become a reality later, now seems likely in the near future.

All kinds of legalization in the direction of facilitating "easier" regulatory conditions for the consumers is a strong incentive for companies in - and close to - the industry (including DanCann Pharma) as it shows a form of acceptance, regardless of whether we are talking biotech, pharma, "medical" or recreational.

Legalization of cannabis in general in Europe's largest country will inevitably have strong and positive impact for other EU countries, including Denmark, says Jeppe Krog Rasmussen.

Measured by population, Germany will be the largest country in the world to legalize cannabis - but not the first. Canada started a legalization process in 2018, and 18 states in the United States, as well as Uruguay have already legalized the sale and use of cannabis for recreational purposes.

Germany will then become the second country in Europe to implement a legalization. Malta has just made both the purchase and sale of cannabis legal. Malta now only lacks the ceremonial approval from the country's president.

The German legalization process is expected to begin in the new year, and a review of the opinion and view of cannabis in general seems to be ongoing in several places around the world.
