In 2002, a pilot project was started in seven German cities to evaluate the effects of heroin-assisted treatment on addicts, compared to methadone-assisted treatment.

In February 2021, authorities in Germany and Belgium seized more than 23,000 kilograms (51,000 lb) of cocaine, worth billions of euros, from shipments that originated in Paraguay and Panama.

In 2017, Germany re-allowed medical cannabis. After the 2021 German federal election, the new government announced in their coalition agreement that they intend to legalise cannabis for all purposes (including recreational), and legislation to this effect was passed on 23 February 2024. The law went into effect on 1 April.
