CDU leader Friedrich Merz threatens to reverse the law if he wins the 2025 election. The Bundestag passed the cannabis law in February.
It stipulates that from April 1st, adults will be allowed to consume and sometimes grow cannabis under certain conditions. Merz warned the federal states against making a “fatal wrong decision” Legalizing cannabis would have a ‘massive impact’ on the health of young people in particular, he said in an interview with Funke media group.
