WELT Documentary | CANNABIS OUT OF A FORMER NATO-BUNKER: Germany's largest, legal marihuana plantation @WELTDocumentary | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
CANNABIS PRODUCTION in the High-Security Facility: Germany's Largest Plantation in a former NATO Bunker
The upcoming legalization of private cannabis consumption in Germany marks the beginning of a new era. With this decision, a vast new market will virtually open overnight, as cannabis has so far been produced exclusively for medical purposes. Demand is expected to increase significantly, and producers are already gearing up for this change.
In the heart of Germany, on the country’s largest cannabis plantation, thousands of plants grow densely packed in Ebersbach, Saxony. In a former slaughterhouse, now repurposed into a cultivation area of over 1,000 square meters, cannabis thrives under the strictest security and hygiene standards. In Leipheim, Bavaria, the cannabis is stored in a former NATO bunker, which is Germany’s most secure cannabis storage facility.
The plant, known for its active ingredients such as CBD and THC, is currently used exclusively for medical purposes. More than 80,000 patients suffering from conditions like tumors, multiple sclerosis, or spasms receive cannabis by prescription. However, the legalization aims to regulate recreational use and minimize the associated risks of an uncontrolled black market.
The same high standards that apply to medical cannabis will also be applied to recreational use. This means cannabis with a "Made in Germany" seal of quality. However, the current demand for legal cannabis cannot be met solely with German products. Imports from countries like Portugal and Canada are therefore essential.
In the Leipheim bunker, the cannabis is weighed precisely to the gram, filled into jars, and labeled. Currently, it is sold only to severely ill people at a price of around 11 euros per gram. With the approval for private consumption, a significant increase in demand and related revenues is expected.
This development represents a significant shift in German drug policy and will have far-reaching economic and social impacts.
