Coalition agrees: Cannabis will be legalized on April 1st. Home cultivation and possession of certain amounts of the drug will be permitted for adults from April 1, 2024.
Sales and cultivation were prohibited by law in the 1970s and early 1980s. Now cannabis is to be removed from the list of banned substances in the Narcotics Act on March 22nd. The law is now scheduled to be passed in the Bundestag in the week starting February 19th. The SPD domestic politician Sebastian Fiedler complained in the ‘Rheinische Post’ that weed can be smoked literally on every corner, for example in street cafes.
