Medical cannabis refers to cannabis flowers, extracts and derived medicinal products prescribed by physicians for the treatment of specific medical conditions. In Germany, medical cannabis falls under narcotics law and may only be dispensed to patients through licensed pharmacies. For freight forwarders and logistics providers, the same strict requirements apply as for other narcotics: complete documentation, enhanced storage and transport security, and proof of authorisation to handle the goods. Demand for specialised logistics solutions for medical cannabis has risen noticeably in recent years as the legal market has expanded across several European countries.
