The current governing coalition of Germany has shared plans to legalise Cannabis in the country. They are currently in the process of internal discussions and drafting of a key issue document. Simultaneously, they have started discussions with the European Council behind closed doors and are expected to publish a notification soon, to which the European Council will have 3 months to reply to approve or criticise.

As potential legalisation in Germany will not only have effects on public health in Germany but will also have a major impact on the drug policies and efforts to reduce drug-related harm in other European countries, we, together with other organisations, have written a letter directed to the European Commission. The letter shares our concerns and urges for opposition to the German legalisation plans and a continuation of a multilateral approach to the world drug problem.

To make our voice stronger, we are seeking your support for the letter and are grateful for your signature to the letter. Please do sign before Tuesday, April 4th!
