Law, Youth Protection, and Responsible Use

Guidance status: February 15, 2026

This page provides legal and prevention-oriented guardrails for app use in Germany. It is not legal advice and serves as practical guidance based on publicly available legal texts.

1. Current legal framework in Germany (CanG / KCanG)

Minimum age: adults only

In Germany, cannabis is legal only for adults aged 18 or older. This app is not intended for minors.

Possession limits under KCanG section 3

Current federal law allows up to 25 g in public and up to 50 g at your residence. Up to three flowering female plants are also permitted at your residence.

Consumption restrictions under KCanG section 5

No consumption in the immediate presence of minors and no consumption in or near schools, child and youth facilities, playgrounds, or public sports facilities. In pedestrian zones, additional restrictions apply between 7:00 and 20:00.

Distribution and advertising

Distribution to minors is prohibited and subject to criminal penalties. Cannabis advertising and sponsoring are also restricted (KCanG section 6).

2. Youth protection and misuse prevention

  • The app is a calculation aid for adults, not a consumption guide for minors.
  • Recipes, concentrations, or outputs must not be used to encourage or normalize use among adolescents.
  • THC products should be stored child-safe and out of reach.
  • For education and prevention, broader youth-protection goals under the German Youth Protection Act (JuSchG) also apply.

3. Practical responsible-use guidelines

Start low, wait for onset

With edible products, effects can be delayed. Dose carefully and avoid redosing too early.

Avoid mixing substances

Combining cannabis with alcohol or other psychoactive substances increases risk significantly.

Do not drive while impaired

If you are under the influence, do not drive. This applies even if you feel capable.

Do not use the app to bypass rules

Calculations are intended for transparency and harm reduction, not for maximizing potency or bypassing legal limits.
