Die Linke Cannabis: legalization, cultivation, free sale & Co.

What is her position on legalization?

The Left Party is calling for the full legalization of cannabis. It criticizes the steps taken so far as insufficient and advocates comprehensive legalization for adults.

Private cultivation

Private cultivation should be made easier. The Left Party advocates increasing the permitted number of plants per person and reducing bureaucratic hurdles.

Clubs

The Left supports the establishment of community social clubs (growers’ associations). It sees them as a way of promoting non-commercial cultivation and consumption and thus further curbing the black market.

Free sale

The Left Party is in favor of free sale in regulated stores. Controlled sales should further reduce the black market and strengthen consumer protection.
