Cannabis legalization is one of the traffic light's prestige socio-political projects. Home cultivation and possession of certain amounts of the drug will be permitted for adults from April 1, 2024.

Clubs for collective cultivation should be possible on July 1st. The law could come as early as April 1st, the three parliamentary group vice-chairmen said. The SPD, Greens and FDP had already agreed in November to remove cannabis from the list of banned substances in the Narcotics Act.
