How can cannabis consumption behavior be monitored after legalization?
The CSU presents an idea.
Munich - The partial legalization of cannabis should apply from April 1st - and the CSU is calling for nationwide wastewater monitoring in advance.
“We need more control so that Germany does not become the stoner nation of Europe,” said CSU state parliamentary group leader Klaus Holetschek to the
editorial network Germany (RND)
.
In the past, increased drug consumption in European cities has been demonstrated via wastewater.
The wastewater monitoring instrument is also very well developed in Germany and has become established during the corona pandemic, explained Holetschek.
The aim is to find out how consumer behavior changes after legalization.
Either way, permission to grow and consume cannabis is “wrong and dangerous,” said Holetschek.
“Early emotional and psychotic illnesses will increase.
The brain matures by the age of 25, and anyone who consumes cannabis risks permanent damage.”

Before the cannabis law: Bavarian justice system examines thousands of old cases
The Bavarian authorities are also already complaining about overtime: Until partial cannabis legalization comes into force, public prosecutors will have to review thousands of old cases that should not have led to penalties under the new law.
Because the Cannabis Act also provides for a retroactive amnesty regulation, public prosecutors in the Free State have to re-examine thousands of old cases that were actually closed.
The Munich I public prosecutor's office alone counts almost 4,000 cases that have already been completed and whose files need to be reviewed again, as spokeswoman Anne Leiding recently announced.

If you only set ten minutes for each check, you get 39,000 minutes.
According to the authorities, this corresponds to 650 hours and thus the weekly working hours of 16 workers.
The traffic light coalition's cannabis bill stipulates that legally binding and not yet fully enforced penalties will be issued for offenses that will no longer be punishable from April 1st.
