Domestic rules are not border permission

Germany's Federal Ministry of Health says adults may carry up to 25 grams of dried cannabis domestically. The same official FAQ separately says import and export are punishable. A domestic possession limit does not authorize carrying cannabis across an international border.

What this does not settle

The FAQ distinguishes domestic possession from import and export. It does not settle destination-country rules or every medical-product exception; check competent authorities before travel.

Plan without assuming cross-border clearance

Verify the exact itinerary, product, and any claimed exception with the competent authorities in Germany and the destination country. This page does not clear travel or provide individualized legal advice. See Germany adult-law overview.
