The German Cannabis Industry Association (BvCW) recently held a parliamentary evening event, at which current German Bundestag member Carmen Wegge appeared and spoke. Ms. Wegge is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) who has served in the Bundestag since 2021. At the event, Ms. Wegge reportedly indicated that abolition of the CanG law is "off the table."
"At yesterday's parliamentary evening of the German Cannabis Industry Association (BvCW), Carmen Wegge promised those present that the Cannabis Act would not be repealed. In return, she hoped for improvements in the right direction." wrote Moritz Förster for Krautinvest (translated from German to English).
"Wegge emphasizes that the SPD "tirelessly" defended the Cannabis Act during the coalition negotiations. She also points to the improvements that have already been made, for example, in terms of prevention, economic development, and greater justice." Förster stated in his original reporting.
Ms. Wegge's comments are similar to those made by leading German cannabis policy expert attorney Peter Homberg of gunnercooke at the recent International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin last month.
