Yes, the “Kabinett” (The chancellor and the ministers) approved the plans, but it needs to be approved by other governmental institualtions as well before it becomes reality.
Though it’s coming. The question will be of it stays. Current government is in dire straits in the polls. This might only live one or two years until the next government culls it, given that the conservatives are rising again.
The problem is not the conservatives tbh, more the actual nazis. Couldn’t worry much about the CDU and their religious nutjob sub-faction the CSU right now, they’re a known problem that is largely inept due to their own inability to effect change since not doing so is essentially their primary advertisement for themselves.
The issue with the CDU/CSU is that they already made steps towards the AFD after the party passed 20%. Remember, the conservatives in the Weimar Republic supported the Nazis, not because they liked them, but because they thought they could puppeteer them, get rid of the communists and socialists and then zhrowing them away and come out on top.
I am afraid that the current conservatives have similair thoughts when it comes to the AFD.
Of course they do. Conservatives aren’t center as they claim. They are right wing. So their natural friends are other enemies of freedom and democracy.
As far as I understand it the EU laws are also an issue, right ? And those won’t be easy to bypass in the long run, right?
They will be bypassed, if more countries join the push
I wanted to say that the CDU/CSU has the charisma of a rotten potato and that I doubt they’ll rake in many votes, but then I remembered who our current chancellor is.
A good chunk of people only look at their bottomline. And for some it’s “we have less money right now than under the conservative government”. Doesn’t matter about Covid, doesn’t matter about the war in Ukraine, doesn’t matter about the world wide economy. It’s just “we are worse off” and then it just takes the opposition to promise “we will make that you are better off” to move votes.
I don’t really see what can happen that makes such a big impact that the government recoup their poll losses.
Cannabis is the only issue where the three parties are kinda on the same foot, otherwise we have a lot of conflicts, especially between Greens and FDP, which damages both parties. And the SPD is … kinda there, a charismatic blackhole like usually.
FDP is doing FDP things as usual. Trying to funnel more money into their audiences pockets. Greens matured a lot in the last decades. I’m not sure if enough, but they changed a lot. The SPD … as bad as it sounds, but the last really charismatic leader was Gas Gerhard. And he was/is a cunt. I don’t want to talk about
Brunothe Union. With Mutti they lost a whole lot more than just a leader.For what it’s worth, Mutti was really soft and moderate for her party. Years of just her had many forget what kind of beasts she was holding at bay within her party.
True. Sometimes you were able to see it trying to get past her, but she was quick to smack it with a rolled up paper.
Don’t forget that many will vote CDU or AFD simply as a protest vote
Amazing protest to throw your votes to literal nazis and conservatives who’d rather help the literal nazis to gain power than accept that time changes thingts.
Hopefully they have some common sense and don’t pass it

German Conservative Party warns of ‘complete loss of control’ if cannabis is legalized
German government approves controlled legalization of cannabis useLet’s loose control boys!!
Congratulations y’all!
Edit: Nvm, y’all still got some bureaucratic hoops to jump through.
This is very important though. It’s forbidden on EU level. If Germany manages to change this or barrel through, this could open up legalization in the whole EU. Some countries are just not doing it, because it’s forbidden on EU level and it’s hard to get through that.
So I believe, aside from Germans, a lot of European watching closely how this develops and even small steps are already good. We just need to see this through.
Oh! Thank you for explaining, I really hope it all works out!
So this is to be true legalization and not just decriminalization? Also, hasn’t Luxembourg completely legalized it?
But then how is it that in ES or NL you can legally buy?
NL is tolarated but technically still ilegal, CZ also have some THC products, but only really little THC content is allowed.
In germany is kinda tolerated also, if the police catch you with some probably nothing will happen -except if you live in sights… Bayern-
Panzerschokolade’s back on the menu, boys!
eh… I believe you have your controlled substances mixed up…
Yeah I know meth and weed are different, it’s just a Germany=Nazi joke
So funny, much edge.
TIL referencing meth being mixed with chocolate 𓃮🍫 in ww2 is edgy
Germany=Nazi joke
not funny
The funny part is how Germans react to it
The funny part is how you think the lowest hanging fruit of a joke, which is actually simply an insult, is something funny that people want to read.
It’s just a funny as the “be kid in America, go to school, get shot, parents tip the shooter” meme.
It’s not my fault you Americans measure in school shooting/McDonald’s²
Which country should we insult for you, then?
Damn that sucks
I see the “drugs are bad” comment jn your history…
Oppression of drugs is bad and makes the problem worse while criminals get rich.
This is quite literally the way if we want a healthier society with less drug related problems and crime. Asks scientist and people who work gave experience working with addicts.
Criminalization creates taboo, which means people hide from help and lie that they don’t have a problem instead of looking for a way out. They are paranoid to tell their medical professionals the truth because they fear the state and police.
The glorification of some aspects of drug culture is a side effect of this. So yes drugs might get more visible in society but the toxicity in the drugs will be less, the damage they do will be contained, social safety will be more prevalent as people stop hiding their use and help to recognize their problem and quit will be open and accessible.
Your well thought and well written post will likely land on deaf ears.
In my experience, evidence, logical arguments and simple common sense are completely ineffective with the kind of people who think “drugs bad and that’s it” and are convinced that more War on Drugs is the solution. Despite the fact that all the evidence around us shows that it’s not.
I know for the person i commented on its probably to late but if i can get some lurkers that simply not know any better to start doing some research then thats a win.
“We can’t effectively end murder so let’s just allow it, hitmen will stop earning money this way”
To compare getting high to murdering a person might be the most unfitting and dumb comparison I have heard in my whole life.
Both damage someone, even though using drugs mostly (but not only) hurts yourself
That is why it´s a very dumb comparison …
Harm reduction is a well studied principle based on real science.
https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/harm-reduction#
What sources do you have that legalizing murder will decrease the harm of it?
Therapy for addicts, Jail for murderers, rapist and shady bussinesspeople (and also therapy for all).
Yes, consumers need therapy, dealers need jailtime, but legalising it is just bs
Yeah, so much better to arrest someone for smoking a joint. Prisons aren’t full enough.
Love all the downvotes by closeted drug addicts
Making/keeping drugs illegal is the biggest funding program for organized crime there ever has been in human history. Every serious criminologist will tell you that the war on drugs has never done anything against drug abuse.
“Keeping murder illegal is the biggest funding program for hitmen there ever has been in human history”
I invite you to educate yourself on the topic instead of spamming nonsense:
https://www.wupr.org/2018/03/03/why-all-drugs-should-be-legal/
https://un-aligned.org/global-issues/five-benefits-of-legalising-drugs/
https://www.listland.com/top-10-reasons-to-legalize-drugs/
https://theweek.com/articles/445005/why-all-drugs-should-legal-yes-even-heroin
Those seem like 100% unbiased sources that don’t totally want you to think what they think
Talking to you and sharing information with you is obviously a waste of time, so I´m out …
That would almost make sense, were the majority of murders committed by a hitmen making their living as per the amount of drugs that are sold by gangs.
Most murders are committed without a cash goal in mind, but how many people are supplying cannabis, cocaine or heroin without profit in mind?
To compare getting high to murdering a person might be the most unfitting and dumb comparison I have heard in my whole life
The only drug I take is alcohol, I still don’t think someone should be criminalised for getting high.
I especially don’t think that the way to cure drug addiction is to throw people in to prison. Drug problems need to be treated as a health issue, not a criminal one. No happy and healthy person ever woke up and just decided to get addicted to heroin.
No, consumers should not be treated like dealers. They’re not criminals, but victims of themselves that need therapy.
Are you actually claiming cannabis is addictive? Physically addictive?
They seem to believe a lot of nonsense. So i wouldnt take their claims for much.
That said while there is a clinical difference between physically and psychological addiction I personally vouch for a more open approach that different people can experience and suffer from addiction in multiple ways. There is also some evidence that similar to allergies some rare people can be physically addicted to anything.
Unfortunately, they already said blatantly in a response to me that it is physically addictive. I am waiting for evidence.
Yes, and you denying it just proves my point
Can you provide some evidence that cannabis is physically addictive please?
Well, the evidence is the same that makes people struggle to stop consuming alcohol and tobacco
No, that is not evidence of physical addiction. People struggle to stop gambling. That doesn’t mean gambling is physically addictive.
When I ask for evidence, I am asking for an academic study that agrees with you. That should have been obvious.
Then try stop consuming weed for a year
