2026 Legal Framework
Rules in Bavaria & Nuremberg
The federal Cannabisgesetz (CanG) applies, but Bavaria imposes severe additional restrictions on public consumption. Here is what you absolutely must know before lighting up in Nuremberg.
Federal Possession
- 25g in public maximum for adults (+18 years).
- 50g at home of dried cannabis.
- 3 plants grown at home, strictly secured from minors.
Bavarian Strict Bans
Bavaria added harsh rules targeting public consumption:
- Biergartens & Patios: Smoking or vaping weed is strictly prohibited in outdoor restaurant areas.
- Festivals (Volksfeste): Total ban on fairgrounds (e.g., Frühlingsfest, Volksfest).
Nuremberg Specifics
- Pedestrian Zones (7am-8pm): Banned in Karolinenstraße, Breite Gasse, Königstraße, and the Hauptmarkt during the day.
- The 100m Rule: Forbidden within sight (100 meters) of schools, kindergartens, playgrounds, and sports facilities.
Beware of Police Checks
Bavarian police enforce these rules rigorously. A violation of the 100m zone or consuming in a Biergarten leads to heavy administrative fines. Join our Nuremberg weed Telegram Group to get real-time alerts and safe spot recommendations from locals.
Safe Navigation
The Nuremberg "Bubatzkarte"

Commercial dispensaries are illegal in 2026. Joining an Anbauvereinigung (cultivation association) is the only legal way to buy cannabis if you don't grow your own.

- • Max 500 members per club.
- • Residency in Germany (6 months min) is required. No tourists.
- • Max 50g/month per member (30g for ages 18-21, THC < 10%).
