Bundestag decides on controlled cannabis release: Union expresses criticism. Traffic light coalition wants controlled legalization.

Union politicians have once again urged the Bundestag to vote against the planned legalization of cannabis in Germany. The far-reaching break in drug policy was controversially discussed until recently. Adults aged 18 and over should generally be allowed to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis for personal consumption. Smoking weed in public spaces should be banned, among other things, in schools, sports facilities and within sight of them.
