Both the German Judges Association (DRB) and the German Hemp Association (DHV) are calling for a revision of the Cannabis Act after the federal election. Too many drug dealers, „who violate criminal law on a large scale “, could benefit from the cannabis law, said DRB Managing Director Sven Rebehn of the „Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung “ (NOZ) on Thursday. „A new federal government would be well advised to quickly take up practical experience and at least revise the cannabis law in such a way that it is reasonably applicable and leaves no loopholes for organized criminals. “
The German Hemp Association still wants „correct legalization “ and sees various necessary improvements in detail at short notice. „The fact that soldiers are prohibited from consuming in their free time has no basis whatsoever “, says DHV Managing Director Georg Wurth.
In addition, the legislator must finally define what „is a not small amount of cannabis “, continued Wurth. Courts would still use the old 7.5 gram THC. As a result, cannabis users face prison terms even if the legal possessions are slightly exceeded, says Wurth. Despite decriminalization, consumers are quickly made criminals.
