The recent strides by the German Government towards cannabis legalization have reignited Brussels Mayor Philippe Close’s fervent plea for Belgium and its capital to decriminalize and eventually legalize cannabis.
Embracing Germany’s Stance
Close lauded the socialist Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s bold step to legislate on cannabis, underscoring the need for Belgium to follow suit.
In a tweet directed at Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne, Close emphasized the importance of not promoting but managing the substance.
Proposal for Progressive Change
Reflecting on his earlier proposal, Close advocates for a calm dialogue about cannabis decriminalization and eventual legalization in Belgium, inspired in part by the Dutch approach.
A Holistic Approach to Drug Issues
Close emphasizes that solely relying on law enforcement won’t resolve societal drug problems. He advocates for collaboration among authorities, doctors, psychologists, and social workers, prioritizing prevention over punitive measures.

Shifting Perceptions
Highlighting the widespread use of cannabis, Close draws a parallel between its consumption and moderate alcohol intake, emphasizing the need for support when usage becomes problematic.
Regulating Cannabis Products
While acknowledging the presence of stores selling cannabis-based items without THC, Close emphasizes the necessity of a regulatory framework, including spatial considerations such as distance from schools. H
e expresses hope for the eventual establishment of coffee shops in Brussels under a similar framework.
Challenges Ahead
However, Close’s aspirations may face hurdles aligned with European cannabis regulations, potentially impeding Belgium’s cannabis reform despite potential support within its government, similar to the uncertainties surrounding Germany’s plans.
