The German Parliament followed the path of Canada and the United States and approved the legalization of weed. Zakharova called drugs the destruction of the nation and the denial of a future for herself and her children.

Earlier in Germany, a bill on the legalization and decriminalization of cannabis was passed through the Bundesrat (federal council of members of state governments). As part of the law, it was proposed to allow the cultivation, storage and use of this drug from April 1. The adoption of the initiative was preceded by criticism from the leadership of some lands, as well as from the medical community.
