Following the approval by the German Bundestag, the Bundesrat endorsed the federal government's plan to permit adults aged 18 years and older to possess and grow cannabis as long as they comply with certain regulations which came into force on April 1, 2024. In a survey conducted just before the legalization, around 40 percent of respondents agreed that legalization was the right decision. In contrast, 56 percent of respondents felt that the legalization of cannabis was not the right approach.
