Nah, this time its the conservatives / nazis (CxU, AfD) wanting to cancel the new law that will greatly help a lot of people.
So yea, Consevatives being evil again. Shocking, I know.
The FDP is in on the legalisation. I suspect they eye profits and deregulation along the way. But yea, otherwise the FDP is the one doing the sabotage, this time is just the exception.
Conservatives are against it, that is true, but the governing Ampel coalition would have a majority if the FDP doesn’t screw it up last minute as it seems to be their newest favorite game
Opposed to all those other laws FDP is blocking, this one the FDP vehemently wants and its the SDP who has been blocking it.
In this specific case the FDP is not the problem, but the CSUs plan to block it in the Bundesrat.
Wrong. The law is designed in a way so it doesn’t need the Bundesrat’s approval.
Yes the CSU is wrong with that, but that doesn’t stop them from trying it anyways.
But it can bei delayed
For a week or so.
Nah, they’re actually in favor of a full legalization (I mean in that case there is money to be made for companies after all). The coalition party blocking that in this case would be the SPD.
The FDP is currently part of the ruling government, not the opposition.

Please inform the FDP about that
The FDP is definitely pro legalization. But the conservative SPD might become a problem.
No. The FDP loves to talk about legalization. Once it’s legalized they lose one of their main talking points for young voters.
Can I just say I thought that between Liz Truss’ 50 day premiership and abortive budget which cost the UK £30bn, the continuing Brexit debacle, and Boris “The Clown” Johnson, that the UK was the running joke of Europe.
Yes, all across Europe there’s no other joking topic other than the political system of Germany.
Rest of Europe, this is what Germans think humor is.
However this plays out in Germany will probably be a major influence on the cannabis policy in other EU countries in a few years.
As a Belgian, I sure hope you’re right!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Germany’s parliament is expected to partly legalise cannabis on Friday after a heated debate about the pros and cons of allowing easier access to the drug.
The health minister, Karl Lauterbach, has said he expects that the new legislation would enable the market to be reclaimed from drug dealers who supply many of the 7 million Germans estimated to regularly use cannabis.
The government said many users rely on the drug for medicinal reasons and that the new law would also improve the quality of cannabis consumed by increasing numbers of young people.
Doctors against the law change have warned that, on the contrary, it will endanger the health of young people by making the drug more accessible and thus increasing the risk of addiction.
“In suggesting you can smoke weed instead of getting started in an apprenticeship or job, the coalition government is sending a completely wrong signal to our society, and acting as the state’s drug dealer.
Advocates for the drug’s use for medicinal purposessaid they are hoping for a positive influence from the decision by Europe’s largest economy and which may pave the way for other countries to follow suit.
The original article contains 575 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

what a dumb fucking take
What do you expect from the “Cannabis is no broccoli”-Party CDU? Thats right, stupid shit. Enough of their enraged voters will eat that “logic”.
The CDU hasn’t been in power now for a couple years.
Only two years.
And thats relevant how?
Do the government already suggest that people can get drunk and beat their families instead of getting started in an apprenticeship or job, then?
Only in Bavaria, where the opposition to Cananbis is the most fierce.
