Reading: Germany: Industrial giants hit a cold winter, and old factories have closed.

Germany, a country known for its industrial rigor and obedience, passed the legalization bill in just three years, which was called a "historic moment" by Germany.

On 23 February, the German Bundestag adopted the bill by a vote of 407 in favour, 226 against and 4 abstentions

From April 1Adults in Germany can hold up to 25 grams** in public, and families can grow 3 plants** for private consumption.

From July 1st,Non-profit can be grown publicly and allows members to purchase in limited quantities from approved clubs.

German Health Minister Karl Rauter said it would be removed from the official anti-drug listRecaptured the market from drug dealers, Germany's nearly 7 million regular smokers will no longer have to buy from drug dealers.

Behind the push for legalization in Germany are the Greens, who see the lifting of the ban as a shortcut to gaining votes. The Greens have tasted the sweetness of the votes and have intensified their efforts to build momentum for the legalization of the country. The SPD, the Free Democrats and the Left Party also pandered to the slogan of the Greens in order to gain votes. However, some German scholars have pointed out with concern that once Germany implements legalization, it will mean that the planting, production, processing, circulation, wholesale, and retail links of the country will become legal, and the result will be the legalization of the drug industry, which will make the drugs in society out of control.

Does Germany's economy need to be supported by the best industry? In front of the stage, the political parties are the promoters of the bill, and what are the interests behind them may be more than the ordinary German people imagine.

German Health Minister Rauter** was originally staunchly opposed to legalization, but after becoming Minister of Health, he went from being an opponent to a supporter. Originating in the health and food markets, the German Synbiotic Group is dedicated to exploiting the full potential of the medical and entertainment markets, and is the largest publicly listed company in Germany and Europe, aiming to bring together the strongest players, and the company is the provider of political funds for the Green Party.

This change in policy makes people wonder whether Germany really knows the harmfulness of the drug, whether it really knows that the drug epidemic will cause serious social problems, and whether it really knows that the national drug abuse will destroy the future of Germany?

Driven by certain forces, "drug culture" is blossoming everywhere in the West, and at the other end of history, from 1840 to 1949, China experienced a century of suffering to eliminate the destruction of Chinese society by Western drugs. Starting from the humiliation of the Opium War, China and its people have waged a long-term struggle to get rid of the drug aggression of the Western powers, and this page of history has been reminding us.
