The Bundestag's Committee on Health has today rejected a proposal to legalize cannabis (sponsored by the GRÜNEN) with CDU/CSU, SPD and AfD all voting against and FDP abstaining. LINKE in favor.
Might further weaken the SPD's position with young and urban voters. I heard #NiemehrSPD (#NeverAgainSPD) was trending on Twitter after the vote...
Pretty sure that the GRÜNEN will demand full legalization (among many other things) after the 2021 elections. And the CDU/CSU, being the CDU/CSU, will eventually agree for tactical reasons.
Seems odd considering drug use in Germany is pretty much out in the open in most cities I’ve been to
