Legal weed not before October 1st? Federal states want to delay cannabis laws. A majority in the Federal Council appears to be in favor of appointing a mediation committee.

Criticism comes from other countries where traffic light parties are involved in government. For example, Baden-Württemberg and Hamburg are against the law in addition to the CDU/CSU/Greens. The Federal Council cannot stop the cannabis law - but it can slow it down. If this does not succeed, the traffic light can override the concerns of the Bundestag.
