This makes cannabis Germany's most popular illegal drug. Northwest Germany is now considered the hotspot for drug trafficking in the country. The imported marijuana comes primarily through the major ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven or across the border from the Netherlands. Illegal plantations also flourish in rural areas – far from police reach. Narcotics investigator Jan Happersberger is working against dealers in the Cuxhaven area. One of them is the drug smuggler “OD,” who regularly transports cannabis across the border from the Netherlands. He brings approximately two kilograms of the illegal drug into Germany every month. The owner of an illegal marijuana grow operation readily provides information about cultivation methods and profit potential. Drug dealer Mike also explains how he sells his weed online. André Heinz runs a legal shop for cannabis products, where he sells CBD-rich cannabis. This has a very low THC content. THC is the psychoactive compound responsible for the intoxicating effect. However, the legal situation is unclear, and he has to fear a police raid. André Heinz runs a legal shop for cannabis products, where he sells CBD-rich cannabis. This has very low THC content.
