jessica parker, bbc news, in dresden. by kevin sabet, president of �*smart approaches to marijuana' and former white house drug control policy adviser. we asked him whether he thought this policy change would tackle the black market trade of cannabis. well, we have more than two dozen states in the united states that have legalised cannabis and the underground black market hasjust grown bigger. and it's sort of counterintuitive. why would that happen? it happens because the price of cannabis, of course, falls when you legalise it. but the illegal market can even undercut that legal price because you have a tax. you have other burdens placed on the legal market. and the illegal actors don't just go to dental school when you legalise cannabis, they change their business, they change their business model. and so, i mean, california, 80% of the market is illegal. it's been a disaster. that's the biggest market in the united states, some other states as well. germany is not necessarily known for it wouldn't be a place where yo

but these cannabis clubs in cities like dresden won�*t pop up overnight, and come with their own rules strengthened, particularly at the beginning in the chaos phase, when demand would be great because of the signal this law sends. the black market and criminal networks will adapt and they will also infiltrate the social clubs. into the highly secure halls of a medical cannabis grower, who are also seeing some deregulation. cannabis will not be a narcotic any more in germany. it will be just as any other pharmaceutical product, which makes it much more easier for patients to get it from a doctor and to get it from the pharmacy. they keep this room at around 23 degrees, but it�*s also really quite humid. now, there are 650—ish plants in this room and they are almost ready to be harvested. and the psychoactive substance is... the benefits of medical cannabis are debated, while the relaxation around recreational use has been contentious. this is an argument in germany that likely hasn�*t yet reached full maturity. jessica parker, bbc news, in dresden. 0ne one of hong kong space independen
