Around four million people in Germany use cannabis regularly or occasionally. Countries like Mexico and Portugal have already legalized cannabis. Should Germany follow in their footsteps? That’s what we want to discuss with our two debaters. Max Plennert has previously worked for the German Hemp Association and is a cannabis patient himself. He says that cannabis should be legalized. Our other debater Martin Rüdiger disagrees. He leads an addiction clinic in Berlin and says legalizing cannabis would send the wrong signal.
