Medical Association Germany against legalisation cannabis

CNE News

Friday 05 May 2023

It is one of the most important goals of the traffic light government in Germany: the legalisation of cannabis use. However, German medical professionals warn against this move.

The Bundesärztekammer (German Medical Association) refers to a study of the Hamburg Institute for Interdisciplinary Addiction and Drug Research. The research, commissioned by the German Health Minister, shows that the legalisation of cannabis leads to "the trivialisation of a drug that has been proven to be addictive and can lead to serious developmental damage, especially in adolescents and young adults," says Klaus Reinardt, the president of the German Medical Association, in a press release. Therefore, his organisation pleads for a "fundamental reconsideration of the plans."

Therefore, Reinhardt appeals to the Minister of Health to reconsider his plans. "Instead of legalisation, which causes great concern for doctors, Germany needs a drug policy focusing more on prevention and help offers for young people."
