The Bavarian CSU (Christian Social Union) is still strictly the legalisation of cannabis. Bavarian Minister of Justice, Winfried Bausback said on Wednesday at the state parliament that: “The legalisation of cannabis would be a mistake.” The SDP (Social Democratic Party) and the Green Party asked for the possession of up to 6 grams of the drug not to be prosecuted, like in other German federal units.
“To smoke weed, dear colleagues, is not a crime,” said Katharina Schulze of the Green Party. She argued that criminalizing potheads was a waste of the state’s valuable resources.
