Bundestag votes for cannabis legalization. 407 MPs voted "yes" and 226 voted "no" There were four abstentions.

The law will come to the Federal Council at the end of March, but it does not require approval there. However, the states could call the joint mediation committee with the Bundestag - and thus slow down the plans. The government's plans do not provide for a complete release, but rather a controlled release with various rules from April 1st.
