Brandenburg and Thuringia are pushing for stricter rules against the mixed consumption of cannabis and alcohol at the wheel in the Bundesrat - but what is Saxony's position on this? The Saxon state government is aware of the planned proposal, the Ministry of Infrastructure told Deutsche Presse-Agentur in response to an inquiry. "In principle, we also reject the mixed consumption of cannabis and alcohol in road traffic. However, we initially see a need for further coordination with regard to the specific form of the proposal," it continued.
A ban on alcohol currently applies in Germany if the limit value of 3.5 nanograms of THC in the blood is reached and exceeded for cannabis. Anyone who remains below this value and also under 0.5 per mille alcohol is therefore still allowed to drive. Brandenburg, for example, considers a clear regulation on the general prohibition of mixed consumption at the wheel to be necessary. Other federal states are also critical of the current legal regulation for mixed consumption.
