Germany’s Marijuana Legalization Bill Is Officially Signed Into Law And Will Take Effect On Monday
The bill will take effect on Monday April 1st
A bill to legalize marijuana nationwide in Germany has officially been signed into law, with the reform set to take effect next week.
Bundesrat President Manuela Schwesig signed the legislation on Wednesday, the last step to enactment. Usually German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier would sign legislation, but because he’s currently away on vacation, that responsibility was handed down to the head of the legislative chamber representing individual states.
This comes one week after members of the Bundesrat reached a deal with Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and other government ministers and declined to refer the cannabis legislation to a mediation committee that would have delayed implementation by six months. Instead, the law will go into force on Monday as planned.
