Online EMDAS Master Seminars 2026
April 29th, 1.00–2.00 p.m. CET time
With the implementation of the Cannabis Act on 1 April 2024, Germany has adopted one of the most liberal legal frameworks in Europe, prioritising a non-profit approach and precluding legal market mechanisms. In the seminar Jakob Manthey – coordinator of the law-mandated impact evaluation – will present the empirical findings of the very recently published second evaluation report.
Lecturer: Jakob Manthey
Moderator: Sara Rolando
Dr Manthey leads the ‘Substance Use and Public Health’ lab at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Addiction Research (ZIS) of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), Germany.
