When Germany’s new coalition included the legalization of recreational cannabis in its political agenda in late 2021, there were few details on how to regulate the industry.
However, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announced last week that it would start the legal process for cannabis legalization soon.
He told German newspaper Handelsblatt he changed his mind on legalization over the past two years, and he now believes the dangers of non-legalization outweigh the risks of recreational cannabis legalization.
“I’ve always been opposed to cannabis legalization, but I revised my position about a year ago,” he said.
In addition, Finance Minister Christian Lindner confirmed that the process of legalizing recreational cannabis has started.
