How it works

How cannabis is sold in Ganderkesee

Ganderkesee took its permit in a ceremony. On 8 July 2024 Lower Saxony's agriculture minister, Miriam Staudte, handed the first club licence in the state to Cannabis Social Club Ganderkesee e.V., a week after applications opened.

First in the state, maybe first in Germany

The Chamber of Agriculture's department head, Birgit Blum, said that to her knowledge it was even the first permit nationwide. That is her statement, not an official ranking. The club gave its first harvest to members in early November 2024.

Who licenses it

In Lower Saxony the Chamber of Agriculture, not a ministry office, grants and supervises club permits. Rules and choices are in our club walkthrough.

Ganderkesee is a municipality in the Oldenburg district, southwest of Bremen. Permission is not the end of oversight: the Chamber monitors approved associations, and Verdex marks this club as verified.

That timetable is a useful yardstick: Bavaria's first permits only came on 24 April 2025, nine months after applications opened.
