This article says its still a 1000.
"
If the government’s estimations are correct, there will be between 6,000-11,000 medical cannabis patients in Germany next year. There are currently about 1,000, although there are many more who want to be. The biggest issue facing patients right now is overall access. Theoretically, German doctors are free to prescribe cannabis to any patient they want. Further, the law does not limit the number of grams per month that can be covered under health insurance. However, German doctors are being informed by health insurance companies that for the next two years at least, they may be personally liable for the entire retail cost of the drug they prescribe. This means a potential cost of 24,000 euros at a minimum, per patient"
Doctors being on the hook for the cost of meds sounds completely bizarre.
I think any expansion is good news and Germany will be big when rec kicks in but really they are still just getting med off the ground. Believe me, I hope CgC gets as much as a foothold there as possible, but I think the med is going to take a bit to get established and rec sounds like a long way away.
I know many here including SS being really excited about Germany, so what am I missing? Or are you just looking at this expansion as a really long term payoff?
