Yesterday, August 16th, 2023, Germany’s Bundeskabinett passed a bill to legalize adult-use cannabis use and non-profit commercial cultivation. The Bundeskabinett is Germany’s executive branch and is composed of a coalition of Germany’s currently post powerful political parties: Scholz's Social Democratic Party, Alliance 90/The Greens, and the Free Democratic Party. So, while the legislation must still successfully pass through Germany’s parliament, the passage of the bill is all but assured. If the bill eventually does go through, the most populous EU nation will be joining a handful of other European countries to have loosened rules and regulations around cannabis.
