Germany: Cannabis Advocates Rally for Broader Legalization at Berlin Hanfparade.

Berlin, Germany - August 08, 2026 Cannabis advocates smoke from glass water pipes, carry oversized joint-shaped props and display marijuana-themed signs during the annual Hanfparade in central Berlin, Germany, on Saturday, August 8, 2026. Participants were calling for broader cannabis legalization and changes to Germany's drug policy. The march traveled from Alexanderplatz through central Berlin and the government district, passing the Reichstag and Federal Ministry of Health. Germany partially legalized cannabis in April 2024, allowing adults to possess and cultivate limited amounts under certain rules, but organizers say the legislation does not go far enough and are calling for full legalization of cannabis as a recreational drug, medicine, and industrial raw material.
