Berlin. The SPD Opposes Health Minister Nina Warken's Push to Fully Reverse Partial Cannabis Legalization
Germany's cannabis legalisation faces CDU backlash ahead of key vote
"The cannabis regulation is current law," Christos Pantazis, the SPD parliamentary group's health policy spokesperson, told Politico news magazine. "Reversing it is not up for discussion within the SPD's Bundestag faction." He emphasized that the standard should be an "evidence-based evaluation," not an "ideological rollback."
The CDU's federal party conference in Stuttgart is expected to vote on Saturday on a cannabis motion tabled by the Women's Union, led by Warken. The widely debated partial legalization took effect in 2024.
