Early Draft Of German Cannabis Legalization Plan Leaked
Early opinions of this draft believe it is too limiting
According to Politico, details of Germany’s current cannabis legalization plan were leaked on October 19 by the RND (RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland) newspaper group. The draft currently includes a plan to decriminalize sales and possession of cannabis, as well as allowing cannabis to be sold in licensed shops and pharmacies.
This approach to reform has been pending since German officials announced their intentions to approach reform back in June, led by Health Minister Karl Lauterbach. According to the current draft, sales of up to 20 grams would become legal for those 18 and older, which would include a maximum of 15% THC for adults over 21, and a maximum of 10% for adults 18-21 years of age. Residents would be allowed to grow two cannabis plants at home, but advertising for consumption would be banned.
Early opinions of this draft believe it is too limiting, as described by Free Democratic Party member Kristine Lütke. “Key issues paper on #cannabis legalization from the @BMG_Bund is unnecessarily restrictive! #THC upper limit, possession limit of 20g & stricter regulation up to 21 years will drive consumers to the #black market – a catastrophe for youth, health & consumer protection,” Lütke wrote on social media.
