An 82-year-old retired German seaman has received his “final warning” after being found guilty of drug trafficking, despite having 24 prior convictions. The man had hoped to increase his monthly pension of $855 by selling marijuana. While prosecutors had sought a 34-month sentence, the court in Aurich made an exception due to the man’s age and recent health issues. He received a suspended sentence instead. The case comes amid ongoing debate in Germany about legalizing marijuana, with some proposals to permit home cultivation and recreational use. Several EU countries have already legalized the drug for medical purposes, while decriminalization of possessing small amounts is widespread. However, full legalization faces significant legal and political obstacles.
