A turning point in drug policy: Germany legalizes cannabis use

Demonstration for the legalization of cannabis products in front of the Bundestag in Berlin.

The Bundestag has decided on the controlled release of cannabis in Germany. Possession and cultivation of the drug will become legal for personal use by adults from April 1, with numerous requirements, under a law passed by the Traffic Light Coalition on Friday.

407 MPs voted in favour, 226 MPs voted against and there were four abstentions. The law is expected to be submitted to the Federal Council on March 22. It does not require approval, but the state chamber could in principle summon the Bundestag’s mediation committee and delay the process.

Forbidden near schools

Until recently, the far-reaching break in drug policy was discussed in extremely controversial terms. Adults aged 18 and over would generally be allowed to possess a maximum of 25 grams of cannabis for personal consumption. Three live cannabis plants should become legal in your own home and a maximum of 50 grams of cannabis for personal use.

Smoking weed in public spaces should be prohibited, including in schools, sports facilities and within sight of them – especially within 100 meters as the crow flies from the entrance. (SDA)
