One year on: What does the future hold for Germany's cannabis legalisation law?
Briefly

One year after legalizing recreational cannabis, Germany's debate continues unabated, spurred by conflicting opinions. Conservative Union parties threaten to reverse the legislation, citing health risks, notably to youth. Critics like the President of the German Medical Association argue that legalisation misrepresents cannabis's dangers, while supporters, including the police union, caution against dismantling reforms entirely. The Federal Government's Drug Commissioner shifts focus toward more dangerous substances, advocating for cannabis regulation rather than outright repeal. With silence from conservative leaders amidst coalition talks, the future of cannabis legality in Germany hangs in the balance.
The debate surrounding cannabis legalisation in Germany persists one year on, with significant opposition from conservative leaders and medical professionals cautioning against its use.
Despite legalization, key conservative leaders remain committed to repealing the law, claiming that it poses dangers to public health and youth safety.
