Cannabis legalization can come into force as planned on April 1st. Federal Council is not delaying cannabis legalization through a mediation committee.

Finance Minister Lindner is happy, Health Minister Lauterbach is urging caution - and new criticism is coming from the federal states. Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) said the law could not be about party politics. The police union (GdP) expects difficulties and an additional burden for the police after the approval of the cannabis law.
