CSU Plant Course Change: Will smoking smoke again illegal?

A year after the extensive legalization of cannabis, the Bavarian state government draws a sobering balance and demands a turning point: « We want to reverse the mistake of the traffic lights and prohibit cannabis, » said Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann our editorial team. The CSU politician described the hope of weakening the criminal scene through the approval as « totally deceptive ». The opposite is the case. “We experience in Europe how they Drug bosses now with even harder means their business is doing, ”said Herrmann, who himself at the coalition negotiations with the SPD was involved in Berlin.

Joachim Herrmann to Cannabis: « Interior Minister agreed across partys »

It is open whether the Social Democrats participate in the course of the course. Herrmann argues that at least the interior ministers of the federal states agree on this point across the part. And Bavaria’s Minister of Health Judith Gerlach also increases the pressure on the Union and the SPD to completely withdraw the liberalization of drug rights. « With the traffic light coalition, your dangerous cannabis crown path has also been voted out, » said Gerlach of our editorial team. « The change of government offers the opportunity to end the trivialization of this dangerous drug and to take care of more health protection again, especially for children and adolescents, » said the CSU politician.

Bavaria as the only federal state without permission for legal cultivation association

Gerlach announced that Bavaria would continue his restrictive course either way. This also applies to the permission procedure for growing cannabis in so -called cultivation associations. « So far, not a single permit has been granted, » she emphasized. The Free State is the only federal state without legal cannabis cultivation outside of private apartments. According to a answer of the Federal government At the end of January, at the end of January, the authorities made permission to establish a association for the community private extension in 83 cases at the end of January. With 25 approved applications, North Rhine-Westphalia was ahead nationwide.

In the coalition negotiations, the topic of cannabis is controversial

The liberalization of cannabis consumption came into force exactly a year ago by law. In the current coalition negotiations, the project, which mainly bears the handwriting of the previous Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD), belongs To the unsolved questions. It was negotiated by the domestic politicians. In its 20 -page working paper, however, it only occurs with one sentence: « We reverse the partialization of cannabis, » it says – in blue script. The color means that the point was fed up by the Union, but one could not agree. Red passages come from the SPD, only what is literally black in the papers is negotiated.

According to information from our editorial team, the SPD showed little enthusiasm to open the barrel again. But there is another back door: the previous federal government had planned to regularly check the effects of legalization, the first report should be available in early October. It is therefore conceivable that the Union and the SPD are allocated and the result wait.

The Bavarian Interior Minister has already completed his evaluation and refers to another effect. The number of drug -related offenses in the Free State decreased because some things were no longer punishable. « On the other hand, we find that the crimes in connection with drug use increase in road traffic. » This is a considerable danger, even for uninvolved.
