The BtMG updated the German Opium Law 1929 and mirrors the Swiss BtMG and Austrian Suchtmittelgesetz.
The German Narcotics Act was re-announced on 1 March 1994.[2] The last change to the law was the legalization of Cannabis in Germany on 1 April 2024. Since then, the handling of this drug has been subject to the German cannabis control bill.[3]
