Germany: Düsseldorf moves forward with plans to legalize cannabis
Düsseldorf City Council on Wednesday took the next step in its plan to legalize the regulated sale of recreational cannabis to over 18-year-olds, taking advice from experts in psychology, crime and economics during a consultation at City Hall.
Representatives from other city councils interested in pursuing similar schemes, including Cologne and Münster, were also present at the meeting.
Dr Armin Claus, a child psychologist specializing in youth addiction, voiced concerns that legalization could reduce young people's awareness of the dangers involved in taking this drug.
"The more people who take the drug, the more socially acceptable it becomes, and the less it is seen as a possible danger," Claus said.
