Another thing is that Germany’s parliament is made up of all parties that got over 5% of votes and they get seats based on the percentage of votes they got. That means that you also have parties like the CDU/CSU and AFD there who do everything they can to block the legalization and that also contributes to making it more restricted and complicated.
No, actually they would have loved to make it easy. Yet the EU is opposed to it.
So now they are doing it in baby steps to get solid data on every step of the way to show the EU rules are bullshit.
First step: decriminalisation for limited amounts, home growing and private clubs.
Next step: licensed distribution in selective model regions, documented as per agreements with the EU commission.
After that: negotiations with similiarly minded EU countries
Full legalisation can basically only happen with an EU frame work and that will be a marathon…
