Overview

• Union politicians criticize Germany's partial cannabis legalization, labeling it a 'dangerous misstep' and advocating for its reversal to combat drug-related crime and protect youth.
• New Canadian studies linking cannabis legalization to increased psychosis rates are cited by Union leaders as evidence for revisiting the policy.
• The police union opposes a complete rollback but highlights enforcement challenges, including increased control efforts in public spaces and road safety issues.
• Police suggest reforms such as state-controlled cannabis sales through licensed outlets to enhance oversight and generate tax benefits.
• Government officials and experts note it is too early to fully evaluate the legalization's impact, with a formal review expected later this year.
