Drug laws: Germany plans to legalise recreational cannabis • FRANCE 24 English
This week has seen a new chancellor take the helm in Germany: Olaf Scholz is leading a never-tried-before coalition of his own Social Democrats, as well as the Greens and pro-business Liberals. They come to office promising to get a hold on Covid-19, keep the economy stable – and bring some liberal changes to the EU’s biggest economy, including the legalisation of recreational cannabis.

Its a way to keep the populace in a stupor so they don’t realise what is happening to them.
Very poor argument by the French; clearly Germany is light years ahead and more progressive… The French should learn a thing or two from the Germans.
Milk is a gateway drug…. All heroin addicts started on milk.
Never vote for green parties. They will litter our streets and poison our environment with drugs. I wonder if they have already chosen the supplier.
Big alcohol tobacco and drug firms are not happy.
The reason that cannabis is a "gateway drug" is that people try it, realise that it’s not nearly as bad as the Governments have made it out to be, and then wonder what other substances they’ve been lied to about. Sadly, this is where things can go wrong. Worst drugs I’ve taken? Alcohol and tobacco, no question about it.
more freedom in Germany than USA
I would like to take a moment to congratulate drugs, for winning the American war on drugs, & to congratulate Portugal for having the sense to recognize a losing battle Two decades before their Western counterparts!
Usually there is someone with a counter view on the panel. Why not here?
Refugees will love this.
Love this !!! 🙌🏽
That woman is lying about cannabis facts and she is also not within the group of expected recreational users and should not get any air time. But she is representing her medical profession, who would loose out big time if too may people would self medicate. She is also representing her french general who no doubt is protecting the pharmaceutical industries interests and protecting backhander payments to medical professionals for administering certain drugs in higher quantities (it means the doctors get a bonus for pushing certain drugs over others).
Her argument about cannabis as a gateway drug is a lie too, it’s alcohol, every doctor knows that.
Over the last 100 Years:
How many deaths through alcohol, millions!
How many deaths through smoking, millions of people dead!
How much profit for the medical industry, trillions of dollars!
How many people died solely though cannabis consumption in the last 3500 years? Non recorded!
Alcohol is a gateway drug !
What are you thinking…seriously?
So the next time a bus crashes into a crowd of people and ya find the driver was off in the "chill zone" at the time?…
Na… a crazy idea that you will come to regret…bitterly.
Listening to those crazy yanks again…
Next, you’ll be looking for your own "second amendment rights"
Don’t go there!
Sleep well.
No need to add to EU paranoia now the UK has left but still gives money 🤑 to the EU
Germany is the Locomotive of Europe…..They LEAD always!

Wunderbar !
So nice to hear the truth being spoken for the public! The war on drugs have failed on many levels and need to stop!
🌿Quality Weed made in Germany👍
People in Germany speak slowly now, what will gonna be when cannabis legalized )))
Trains will be late )))
Peace For All Weed Smoker 💨
My goodness, the uk is just so far back in dark ages compared to other countries
Uk needs to wake up
We have legal cannabis in Canada. We have had zero problems due to legalization. We were fed nonsense for the 50 previous years if not more about how it would ruin us. Total nonsense, nothing has changed here. Stupid politicians who have kept it illegal
Wish uk 🇬🇧 England would do the same cannabis good for me
Good Move !!!!
Yes yes Day have a To illegally s ? we need it to be illegally s it’s important to people s life . because people s us it# it’s food of some people s And it’s good to illegal s it please Govoments in the world s.
It is legal in Canada & no change except Govt collects taxes & Alcoholism #’s declined… This is an outstanding host, The Great Emerald Queen.
Cannabis is worse than heroine this is going to be so bad god I’m scared
I feel like we live in North Korea if they don’t legalise it for any of us?
Please do not copy other nation to legalise recreation cannabis, many generation will fall,
Malta , Luxemburg , Holland , Spain , Swiss , let s go GERMANY JETZT !
I have about 5% of my portfolio in uranium stock any advice on any other stock that I can grow my $300k capital to a million dollars?
the gateway effect is compounded, significantly, by weed being sold by the same ppl who sell harder drugs
Please do, I’ve been in Munich for a few months and it would be a great addition to the up coming summer 🤞🏽
That’s why i only smoke crack with my kids
Legalise weed?! But weed is the ‘gateway drug’ to cigarettes!!!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Canada legalized recreational Cannabis in 2018….
The sky didnt fall, it hasn’t been a gateway drug and sellers supplies have to be approved by the Canadian Government. So now pot dusted with PCP, cocaine or heroin doesn’t happen anymore by unscrupulous drug dealers.
Everyday crimes and murders, religious arguments and attacks, rising poorness, rising prices, rising inflation, returnable bottles colecting pensioners because of the low pension after 40-50 years of working, more homeless ppl every day because of to low payable appartememts, corona … and the new government fist and biggest act ist that! Must be a big black wall between the politicians, the rainbow richkids and the reality on the streets.
Bonshuuu !!
Also a warning- Make sure price set is low if you want to eliminate the illegal market. Canada priced it too high ( pigs) and the illegal market is still here.
Issue is also strength of the weed – strong stuff can cause / trigger the issues raised, so ‘legalistion’ where the stuff is graded could help avoid problems, but a great progressive step forward Germany
