Federal Court Restricts Online Advertising for Medical Cannabis ProductsThu 26th Mar, 2026The Federal Court of Justice in Germany has issued a decision that places significant restrictions on the online sale and advertising of medical cannabis. According to the court, medical cannabis is classified as a prescription-only medication. The company's website offered consumers assistance in booking appointments with affiliated physicians for potential medical cannabis treatments. The organization argued that the company's online advertising for medical cannabis constituted a breach of the legal ban on advertising prescription drugs. Their main contention was that the website's primary purpose appeared to be promoting the use of medical cannabis, rather than simply informing consumers about its medical applications or availability.
