Following a change in the law, doctors have also been able to prescribe medical cannabis in Germany since March 2017. Alongside the general regulations according to pharmaceutical law, the prescribed products also have to comply, however, with the regulations in the German Narcotics Act and the EU GMP and EU GDP guidelines (European quality guidelines for good manufacturing and distribution practice).
In cooperation with the BfArM (Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices), WEECO Pharmaceuticals thus checks all manufacturers and suppliers for their conformity with the legal regulations and the required quality standards. All WEECO partners must comply with the highest pharmaceutical quality standards in the world – the GMP guidelines.
