""Early interventions designed to dissuade children and young people from consumption are falling sharply in numbers," Warken said, also complaining of a 'blurry boundary between cannabis for recreational consumption and cannabis for purely medicinal purposes.'"
""The black market is booming, criminality is on the rise," he alleged, referring to the inadequacies in law enforcement's concerns regarding the legalization law."
""An increase in consumption that can be tied to the reform is not recognizable at this point in time," the report stated, highlighting a moderate increase in usage statistics since legalization."
German conservative ministers from the CDU and CSU parties criticized the 2024 partial legalization of cannabis, calling it a mistake. Health Minister Nina Warken noted a decline in early interventions for youth, while Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt labeled the law a nonstarter, citing rising criminality and a booming black market. Family Minister Karin Prien expressed concerns over falling participation in addiction prevention courses. A report indicated mixed findings, showing only a moderate increase in cannabis usage, with no clear link to the legalization reform.
